Thank you for 21 years. After nearly 10,000 surgeries and 40,000 patient encounters, I have decided to retire. I owe a tremendous debt to my referring physicians, the staff at Alta Bates Hospital, my office staff and all the physicians who have helped me navigate the care of my patients. Most of all, I thank my patients for having faith in me, for entrusting me in their care and enduring their difficult diseases. I wish I could have cured everyone.

I end career with annual awards such as "Top Doctor" by Castle and Connolly or "Best Doctors" for 16 years in a row. As a measure of trust within the medical community, I have now operated on over a hundred surgeons, primary care doctors, nurses, hospital employees and as well as their immediate family members.
