Anesthesiology, Critical Care Medicine

 Caring for patients throughout their entire perioperative period is a passion of mine. I try to understand my patient's concerns about their entire surgical stay and create an individualized anesthetic plan to make my patient's experience as best it can be. As a critical care physician, I also have the honor and privilege to treat patient's during their most tenuous and stressful times. Spending time bedside with the patient's and their family members is a rewarding experience.
