He and the experienced team at Varicosity Vein Centers are dedicated to the treatment of venous disease. ” I find surgery a gratifying area of medicine because it often deals with illnesses that can be significantly improved or cured by a single procedure. As a child of a family practitioner, I learned that a physician’s work is really a ministry to the whole person and it is a privilege to be involved in the healing process. As God enables, my goal is always to provide patients with excellent minimally invasive, up-to-date surgical care in a compassionate and caring manner.”
