Summary
- Winding down a 34+ year career. I still have a lot of tread life left and am continuing to work as an Acute Care/Trauma/Surgical Critical Care provider. I have been fortunate to occupy many varied, interesting, and challenging roles. I am currently based in Michigan at an ACS verified Level 2 Trauma center with a catchment area that spans 30+ counties in Northern Michigan. Interested in caring for patients in a hospital setting. I no longer do elective General Surgery but my experience in Breast Cancer, Bariatric Surgery, Minimally Invasive/Robotic Surgery, and Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction is an asset.
