“As a child with asthma, I quickly learned of the power to heal possessed by my pediatrician. This awareness, coupled with a life-long fascination with human anatomy/physiology, led to my choice of surgery as a career. I believe that God is honored by excellence in the operating room and by compassionate care of people as individuals. It is exciting for me to have the privilege of helping others and to do so with the assistance and encouragement of trustworthy, partners and staff.”

“I feel very fortunate to have the wonderful and intimate relationships with Jesus Christ, my wife, and my son. My parents nurtured and instilled a passion for hard work and joy in all that is excellent. Lacking the confrontational personality needed to succeed in law, I chose medicine instead of following in the footsteps of three consecutive generations of judges. I relish in the spirit of corporation and teamwork that is necessary to solve complicated medical problems. I am blessed with a unique opportunity to perform medicine in a faith-based environment with like-minded partners whom I love and treasure."

“My commitment as a surgeon is to provide the highest quality care with the most effective and progressive means available. Minimally-invasive techniques now allow us to perform complex procedures with excellent outcome and minimal discomfort. This advance in medicine elevates the standard of care for surgery and has motivated me to advance in this area. I am very thankful to be a part of a group of surgeons who desire excellence in all things as I do. The physicians and staff share my beliefs and goals and we look confidently to the future as we advance together.
