Treatment Philosophy
1. The patient comes first.
2. Maximize efficiency and minimize trauma.
3. We can't always control what we are dealt especially with a new cancer diagnoses, but we can do our best to be aggressive, stay up-to-date with technology, follow the standard of care, and initiate an approach maximizing quantity and quality of life for our patients.
4. Surgical education is paramount to patient safety and improving patient outcomes
5. Robotic surgery -- or more apt "computer enhanced surgery" -- is the future.
