"As a physician and surgeon I enjoy and am skilled at patient care.  My affiliation with the American College of Phlebology provides me with an opportunity to network with some of the most respected phlebologists (vein specialists) in the country.  This clearly leads to improved patient care as well as excellent treatment outcomes.  Our patients frequently comment that they feel 'safe and comfortable' in my office.  My staff and I pride ourselves on checking our ego's at the door each morning.  Our mission is to provide each patient with a comfortable, respectful experience when in our care, as well as delivering the best possible outcome from their treatment.".
