Philosophy of Care

I am dedicated to delivering the highest quality vascular care to my patients, which includes an outstanding patient experience.  I can offer the latest proven technologies and an approach that includes personalized decision making based on your specific situation and both medical and surgical treatment options. 

I am fully trained and experienced in both open surgery and minimally invasive treatments, and so I can provide an unbiased recommendation for the best option for you. 

I value the doctor-patient relationship, and will provide ongoing surveillance for your vascular condition.  This approach to comprehensive vascular care embodies UC Davis Health’s mission of improving lives and transforming health care.
