Clinical Interests
Intensive Care and Anesthetic Care for patients with decompensated and advanced Liver Failure Intensive Care and Anesthetic Care for patients with complex trauma and orthopedic injuries Intensive Care and Anesthetic Care for patients with complex brain trauma/disease
Care Philosophy
I strive to provide the best care for my patients and their families. Often times, my patients cannot advocate for themselves and thus their care is frequently managed through surrogate decision makers. It is important to maintain those relationships with those decision makers as they frequently are able to help me make the decisions that are best for our patients.
