Philosophy of Care

---

My journey into medicine began not in a classroom, but as a patient. After undergoing multiple heart surgeries for Tetralogy of Fallot as a child, I experienced firsthand what it feels like to be vulnerable, anxious, and dependent on the skill and compassion of your doctor. That experience fundamentally shaped who I am as a physician.

Because of what I went through, I treat every patient with the same respect, empathy, and attention to detail that I would want for myself or my own family. I believe that every patient deserves to be heard, understood, and actively involved in their care. My goal is never just to “fix” a shoulder — it is to help you regain the function, confidence, and quality of life you deserve.

Above all, I am dedicated to long-term partnership with my patients. From your first visit through surgery and well into your recovery, I am here to answer your questions, address your concerns, and support you every step of the way. You are not just a case — you are a person who deserves the very best possible result.
