Philosophy of Care
Surgery has been constantly changing over the past decades. Now with the ongoing development adopted by various surgical sub-specialties, minimally invasive surgery has become the future in surgical care that I have been investing in my surgical career.
The relationship between me and my patients has always been my top priority by doing what is safe and at the same time, helping them enjoy an active lifestyle despite the health challenges they might face. I am fully committed to using my skillset and knowledge to take the courage in action, applying a high degree of technical proficiency in order to provide the best treatment for every patient through personal effort, team consultations, research, and maintenance of good professional standards. Overall, respecting human dignity and equality.
