MENTORS
" I have been extremely lucky to have extraordinary mentors in my professional life. The best of the best- surgeons, physicians and scientists, pioneers in the field of transplantation and hernia repair. They continuously inspire me to work hard, keep improving, keep looking for answers and share my experience with others. They have all helped me by opening doors to the next step of my career and personal life. They have been guiding me throughout my life. I am very thankful to my mentors for all that they have done for me. Now, I give back by mentoring new young physicians and researchers in their professional lives. "
