“I believe that through a coordinated effort of a team of specialists including myself, dietitians, mental health providers, and exercise specialists we can give a patient a second chance at living a healthy and productive life. I believe in treating every patient as you would want your family members to be treated and feel lucky that I have the opportunity to make a difference in my patients’ lives.”
