Clinical Interests
My clinical focus is delivering anethesia for neurosurgical patients as well as management of intra-operative neurophysiology.
Care Philosophy
To provide the highest level of anesthetic care to all patients at all times. To treat patients with the same level of care that I would expect for myself or any member of my family.
Personal Interests
My personal interests include global anesthesia and the development of programs to increase anesthesia capacity in low-income countries. As well, I am interested in maximizing operating efficiency to improve utilization.
