A Better Way to Prepare for Surgery — From Someone Who’s Seen It All

Combining surgical expertise with holistic health to help patients reduce risk, heal faster, and feel supported every step of the way.

My Story

I’m a board-certified general surgeon with over 12 years of experience performing complex procedures — from cancer surgeries to trauma care. Over the years, I began to notice something that deeply concerned me. Patients were going through surgery physically, emotionally, and mentally unprepared.

They were being treated for the procedure — but not supported as a whole person.

In 2020, during the COVID pandemic, I began exploring functional and integrative medicine. I wanted to understand how sleep, stress, nutrition, and overall health impacted surgical outcomes.

What I found changed everything.

By 2021, I realized that as surgeons, we were putting patients through immense stress — similar to a major trauma — without giving them the tools to handle it.

In 2022, I began working directly with patients to improve their surgical wellness before and after procedures.

The results were powerful:

✦ Smoother recoveries

✦ Fewer complications

✦ More confident, empowered patients

In 2025, I founded the Center for Holistic Surgery to bring this approach to more people — and help patients experience surgery in a safer, more supported way.

Why This Work Is Different

There are many health coaches — but very few truly understand surgery from the inside.

And even fewer are surgeons.

This program is built on real, first-hand surgical experience combined with holistic health principles — creating a level of insight and guidance that most patients never receive.

My Mission

My mission is to optimize surgical recovery and support whole-person healing through a personalized, holistic approach to surgical wellness. By combining modern surgical science, functional and integrative medicine, and personalized health coaching, I help patients reduce risks, improve outcomes, and recover faster and more fully.

My Approach

This is not traditional preoperative care or generic health coaching — it is specialized surgical wellness coaching designed for the physical and emotional demands of surgery. By focusing on sleep, stress, nutrition, gut health, and functional strength, each plan is tailored to your body and your procedure, helping you prepare better and recover more effectively.
