Many times they have accommodated and adapted to their illness despite how debilitating it can be.</span></p>

My technique reduces post operative pain and recovery time and reduces the risk of skin infections and hernias by reducing the number and size of incisions. My goal is to correct patients&rsquo; problems and help return them to a normal lifestyle as quickly as possible.&nbsp;</span></p>
