I consider it a great honor and privilege to serve my patients. It is my goal to provide them with the same level of care that I would provide to my own family.”

“I always dreamed of having the ability to make a difference in the community that I live in. One of the dreams I’ve had is to put together a comprehensive neurosciences program where neurosurgery, neurology, rehabilitation, and pain management work together. All of the pieces of the puzzle are here at Hamilton Health Care System.”
