I chose medicine because I wanted to make a positive impact on people's lives. Surgery is my way of doing this. I am a board-certified general and colorectal surgeon whose goal is to provide an excellent patient experience from the time that we meet in the office until the patient's surgical needs are complete. I have a great interest in robotic minimally invasive surgery, which allows my patients to have a quicker recovery and get back to what they love doing in our beautiful city. In my spare time, I enjoy all that San Diego has to offer with my husband and two young sons, playing the piano and exercising.
