About Me

What made you want to become a health care provider or what is your earliest memory of wanting to be one?

As a boy dreaming to become a mechanic, I tried to fix (unsuccessfully), my bicycle with my father's hammer and screw drivers.  When I finally owned a car, it was an old junk that I could tinker with on weekends; and only after I graduated from college did I realize that becoming a health care provider is the best way to encompass my passion, vision, and skills given the opportunities that I have been blessed with.  It's a natural progression to transform that childhood dream into an even more meaningful life path. 

What do you love most about your specialty? / Why did you choose your specialty?

Hand Surgery encompasses neurosurgery, plastic, orthopedic, vascular, and microsurgery techniques covering just about every problem from A to Z.  It is intricate and challenging, and there is always something different every day!  Also, as a clarinet musician, I have a very intimate relationship and appreciation with hand function, and that fascination and interest together have transpired a career in hand surgery. 

How do you connect with your patients?

I treat my patients as if they were my own family members - with personal attention, taking time listening, discussing, and explaining treatment plans.  I have always made myself available, and tell my patients that I am only one phone call or email away. 

What are your interests outside of the office (hobbies, activities)?

I am an avid outdoorsman, especially downhill skiing and road cycling.  In addition, I also enjoy creative and fun time traveling and restoring classic cars. 

What is your advice for your patients?

Stay active!
