I am an enthusiastic person and like to incorporate this energy into my visits. I have a broad practice, specializing in both general and colorectal surgery. Colorectal surgery is admittedly a unique path to choose. People often ask why I chose this field. What I find most attractive about this specialty is the long and meaningful relationships I cultivate with my patients. Caring for patients with diseases, such as cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, affords time to get to know patients as people. These long-term relationships help keep me in touch with the human side of medicine. I have a special interest in minimally invasive surgery, including robotic surgery. With minimally invasive surgery, I am able to carry out major surgeries through much smaller incisions. This affords an easier recovery and is much less disruptive to the busy lives many of my patients lead. I have a very supportive family. In my free time, we enjoy spending time together as a family. My wife and I are born and raised Texans. We enjoy traveling as a family, spending time outdoors, fishing, and relaxing.
