About the Surgeons

Patient-First. Compassionate. Competence.
Both surgeons at MONT were trained at and maintain active hospital and university appointments at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Weill Cornell Medical College — one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers. They bring that same level of precision, advanced training, and clinical excellence into a private practice setting.
Unlike volume-driven or corporate-owned practices, MONT remains fully surgeon-owned and operated. Our approach emphasizes minimally invasive techniques, clear communication, and individualized care — guided by the belief that every patient deserves the same standard of treatment we would provide to our own family.
