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 to be a surgeon out of a desire to definitively help those in need, as well as for the capacity it offers for lifelong service.

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.
