A Career Built on Empathy
The son of two psychologists, Dr. Snibbe grew up in a home where listening mattered more than talking. His upbringing shaped the way he practices medicine today: with curiosity, empathy, and a commitment to understanding the whole person, not just the injury.
“Listening is my most powerful surgical tool.”
~Dr. Jason Snibbe
When hospitals resisted his vision for robotic-assisted surgery, he made the bold decision to leave and pioneer innovation on his own terms. That same spirit led him to develop a modern, physician-owned surgical hospital designed to bring humanity back to healthcare.
“Healing isn’t just physical. It’s emotional, mental, and personal.”
~Dr. Jason Snibbe
