“I chose dermatology, and especially Mohs surgery, because it combines everything I love about medicine — histology, surgery, problem-solving, and patient relationships. I believe in treating every patient as an individual, not a diagnosis, and I’m deeply committed to doing what’s best for them. My approach blends the best evidence-based medicine with the wisdom that comes from years of experience, always guided by a simple principle: make even the most challenging experiences positive for my patients. I’m grateful for the opportunity to do this work, especially here at Sunrise Dermatology, where the warmth and openness of the community align perfectly with my belief in clear communication, collaboration, and truly personalized care. This practice is not just about surgery; it’s about compassion, precision, and a commitment to helping each patient feel confident, understood, and well-cared for.”
