Overview

At our office, we understand that seeing a surgeon can be a difficult time. We want to put your mind at ease, so we strive to make the process as comfortable as possible for you. Surgery is not the only option we will discuss in most instances and we believe that patient education and healthy living are vital to overcoming any disease process. Our goal is seeing people being made well, not just surgically, but completely well. We recognize that our bodies are complex and there are other factors involved in healing.  We may discuss nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, spiritual elements, supplements, immune function or other topics that could be contributing to your health. At the end of our time together, our goal is that you are truly much healthier and equipped to remain that way.
