“The most rewarding part of my job is seeing patients enjoy a life that they didn’t think was possible,” he said. “They typically feel immediately better after surgery, and then continue to make progress in the weeks to follow.  Easing patients concerns and relieving their symptoms is amazing process to witness and to contribute. I am always available when they need me. There’s a certain bond and trust between the physician and patient; that is absolutely fundamental.”
