Why did you choose to become a surgeon?

My father (the real Dr. Chupp) is a practicing obgyn in Omaha. Having always admired his work ethic and dedication to his patients, I was drawn to the medical field at an early age. I chose surgery out of a desire to definitively help patients in need and the capacity it offers for lifelong learning.

What’s special about Specialists in General Surgery?

For me, Specialists in General Surgery is a prayer answered. We have a uniquely collaborative environment among many gifted surgeons, physician assistants and support staff. This enables the focus at SGS to remain on what is most important – the patient.
