He is a very knowledgable doctor, who inspires confidence. He has a very warm and kind personality, that inspires trust. He gave me all the time I needed to ask him all my questions, and he took the time to answer all of them in a straight and clear manner. I spent the night before my appointment totally awaken while worrying about a problem that i had developed after my operation. After his lengthy explanation, his assurances, his sincerity, I went home, and slept quite relieved. Besides being a good doctor, he is a very good person, and THAT is not something that I -as a patient- have come across very often

He took the time to thoroughly explain my condition and the upcoming surgery, ensuring that I understood every detail. His patience and ability to communicate complex medical information in an easy-to-understand way truly put me at ease. I felt confident and reassured knowing I was in such capable hands.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
