I was attracted to medicine and surgery in particular because it enables me to make significant change in a person’s life, not only by using my medical knowledge but also physical change with my technical ability.
It brings great satisfaction to see that change and I realized early on that if I have the ability to help someone, then I should help them. In bariatrics, there is a different level of satisfaction that comes from seeing the change bariatric surgery can provide. These are patients that are often denied other surgeries because of weight issues and it is sometimes their last resort to start a new life.
My training and the way that I was brought up has taught me to look at my patients as a whole and not to just focus on one particular problem they have. I seek a comprehensive look, and that involves working closely with their primary care providers and making sure they have a safer overall experience. My goal is always to focus 100 percent on providing the safest way to get the best outcome with the least amount of risk for the patient.
I try to always be very straightforward with my patients. I listen to their concerns and if they have questions about an area of expertise outside of what I do, I tell them that and I help them find who can best help them with that issue. I am always clear with them about my role and responsibilities and I try to help them understand the process and what they can expect during surgery, and afterward.
What brings me the most joy in my day is coming in to see the patients I operated on the day before and they are doing well and feeling well. I like to hear the positive comments they make about our staff, the great care they are getting and knowing that things are getting better.
When I am not working I enjoy going to the gym, being outdoors, involved in sports and water sports. I am also always trying to build something, whether it’s woodworking, with electronics or computers.
