What to expect when a patient comes to see me:

When you come to see me, you can expect an evidence-based approach grounded in the latest medical research and guidelines, combined with a deep respect for your individual experiences and concerns. I take the time to listen and understand your goals and involve you in decision- making every step of the way. My goal is to create a partnership in your care, where your voice is heard, your questions are answered, and your treatment plan is tailored uniquely to you.

Why I chose gastroenterology:

Gastroenterology provides me the opportunity to help patients through medical management and with diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This is done in both the acute setting as well as in long term management of certain conditions. This balance allows me to continuously challenge myself both technically and intellectually, while also giving me the opportunity to build lasting relationships with my patients.

Areas of Gl specialization:

In addition to managing general Gl issues such as colon cancer screening and reflux disorders, I also specialize in advanced diagnostic procedures, including endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). This combination enables me to offer both broad and specialized care, improving diagnostic accuracy and expanding treatment options for my patients.
