| PHILOSOPHY OF
PRACTICE: |
I try to be educational and informative. I
want my patients to understand their problems and their treatment options. I am
very conservative in my care. Most hemorrhoidal treatment is performed in the
office. Most diagnostic endoscopy is performed in the office.
Fortunately, I have the ability to make
people feel comfortable and relaxed. Preventative medicine is stressed.
