About Me
What inspires me most is knowing I can make a meaningful difference in my patients’ lives. Whether it’s improving quality of life through surgery or performing a lifesaving procedure, being able to help someone in a tangible way means everything to me.
It’s also a privilege to support patients facing cancer, guiding them through a challenging time and providing care and reassurance throughout their operation.
I earned my medical degree from McGill University and completed my general surgery residency at McMaster University. My areas of expertise include gallbladder surgery, hernia repair, colon surgery, and both benign and cancer-related breast surgery.
I believe in building strong partnerships with my patients — relationships grounded in respect, dignity, and compassion. My goal is to ensure each person feels supported, informed, and empowered to make surgical decisions that align with their needs and values.
