Sam’s personal statement:

“Although I have been lauded for my management and training skills and research interests, my primary focus has and always will be on providing the highest-level care possible to my patients. It is particularly gratifying for me to hear patients describing my consultations as being clear, compassionate and caring, and I have immense satisfaction in seeing my patients recover so well after surgery. I am a strong believer in, and advocate of, the concept of wellness.”
