Patient Care Philosophy:
“My approach to patient care is highly personalized, patient-centered, and focused on building long-term trust. I believe in clear, compassionate communication—taking the time to educate patients about their condition, treatment options, and what to expect at every stage. I emphasize shared decision-making and ensure that patients feel heard and fully involved in their care plan. My goal is to provide safe, efficient, and evidence-based surgical care while minimizing stress and uncertainty for the patient.
In a private clinic setting, I have the advantage of offering continuity and consistency in care. I ensure each patient receives personalized treatment by carefully reviewing their medical history, lifestyle, and concerns before recommending a surgical plan. I maintain close follow-up postoperatively, personally monitoring their recovery and adjusting the care plan as needed. I also invest in continuous learning and integrate the latest surgical techniques and technologies to enhance outcomes. Ultimately, I treat each patient the way I would want a family member to be treated—with respect, transparency, and the highest standard of care.”
Professional Development and Continuing Education:
“I take a proactive approach to staying current in my field. Surgery is constantly evolving, and I believe it’s my responsibility to keep up with the latest advancements. I regularly attend surgical conferences, participate in professional workshops, and subscribe to leading journals like
Annals of Surgery and
Obesity Surgery. I also engage in peer discussions and case reviews, which help me refine my decision-making and stay aligned with evolving best practices. In my private practice, I’ve found that integrating new evidence-based techniques improves both patient outcomes and satisfaction.
I pursue advanced training in minimally invasive and laparoscopic techniques, and I’ve completed courses through reputable platforms such as the American College of Surgeons (ACS)
, International federation of surgery of obesity (IFSO)
. I also keep my ACLS and ATLS certifications up to date. Whenever possible, I participate in hands-on labs and simulation training to enhance my technical skills. Additionally, I’m interested in emerging areas such as
advanced endoscopic procedures,
robotic surgery and surgical ergonomics, and I’ve begun exploring structured certifications in those areas as well.”
