“My goal is to treat my patients as I would my family and to provide the same quality of general surgery and breast care that they would receive at a university hospital.”

I am a native of Missouri. I grew up in southern Missouri. University of Missouri in Columbia is where I attended medical school and completed my general surgery residency. I have striven to stay current with the ever-changing technology of surgery. My goal is to treat my patients as I would my family and to provide the same quality of general surgery and breast care that they would receive at a university hospital. I feel an obligation to provide the most up-to-date care and find it satisfying guiding patients through the complexity of healthcare. Taking care of people in this area for the last 24 years has been a privilege and a responsibility that I do not take lightly.
