"Whether marking off blood pressure and diabetes medications from the post op med list, seeing a patient who has struggled with infertility have a healthy pregnancy a few years later, or hearing someone can keep up with their kids or grandkids, each of these milestones are incredible. The small part I play as the surgeon in helping create this change is awesome. These patient successes inspire me to provide the best care for patients every day."
