Dr. Powers chose the field of general surgery because he enjoys the active nature and team-based approach of the operating room.

"To provide my patients and their families with the highest level of care, I use clear and open communication to determine the best course of treatment. I am a good communicator and listener and will work hard to meet our shared goals."
