Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics Concord | General Surgery

I always try to explain my patient's conditions in terms that are easiest for them to understand. I talk with them as if I were talking with my own family member or friend. I assure them that they are getting the best care possible. I also want to be sure that all family members understand the condition and treatment plan. I want them to be comfortable with the plan moving forward as well. I try to make sure that all their questions are answered and that everyone is on the same page regarding the next steps. I chose orthopaedics because I have always been active in sports. I spent a lot of time at my own orthopedist's office as a child with a variety of different injuries. I enjoy helping people and want to make sure that I can get them back to the activities that they enjoy. I hope to work together with my patients to ensure that we are coming up with the best plan for them.

Whether I’m visiting with a patient in my office or the comfort of their home, connecting with them on a personal level is the best part of my job. I love hearing about who they are as individuals. An appointment with me is a safe space for them to open up about their physical and emotional health. I encourage them to express their concerns, priorities and goals of care at every visit. Then, I try to address those concerns in the context of their lives. Looking at the big picture of a patient’s lifestyle is essential for complete, compassionate care. I’m not afraid to tackle life’s complexities. That includes complicated medical conditions and preventative care. I also understand that relationships, finances and social pressures influence healthcare choices. Together, we manage those influences so my patients can focus on aging well. I’m often amazed at my patients' resiliency and bravery in the face of life’s challenges. I take it upon myself to provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a supportive environment to lighten their burden in any way I can.
