About Me
I am originally from Austria and have spent more than a decade living in the colder climates of the northeastern United States. My wife and I recently moved to Jacksonville with our children, and we are excited to embrace the warm weather, enjoy the many outdoor activities the area offers, and become part of this amazing community.
My philosophy of care is centered on listening to patients and understanding their unique goals and concerns. With advanced training in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, I focus on procedures that allow for faster healing, less discomfort, and a quicker return to normal life. My goal is to help patients resume the activities and routines that matter most to them as quickly and safely as possible, while ensuring they feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
Outside of my clinical work, I stay active through hiking, spending time outdoors and on the water, and traveling with my family. I also have a lifelong interest in technology and computers, which fuels my enthusiasm for incorporating innovation into surgical care and staying ahead of emerging medical technology.
