What I Do
I believe great care starts with listening. My goal is to help every patient feel heard, respected and informed so we can make decisions together. Every patient has unique goals, and I believe the best outcomes come from understanding what matters most to each patient before creating a personalized treatment plan.
My clinical interests include breast reconstruction, microsurgery, reconstructive surgery after cancer or trauma, lower extremity reconstruction, and breast and body aesthetic surgery, including body contouring.
Why I Love My Work
Plastic surgery drew me because it combines technical precision with creativity while allowing me to build meaningful relationships with patients. I enjoy helping people regain confidence, restore function and improve quality of life through thoughtful, individualized care.
Getting to Know Me
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, traveling, hiking, staying active and maintaining my saltwater reef aquarium. I'm always looking for opportunities to explore new places, spend time outdoors and continue learning — whether that's in medicine or everyday life.
