Why Gastroenterology?

I find the field of Gastroenterology to be extremely fascinating and rewarding. I enjoy taking care of patients from all walks of life and being able to provide both diagnostic as well as therapeutic interventions for a wide range of gastrointestinal conditions. I am passionate about colon cancer screening as well as inflammatory bowel disease, reflux, and various liver diseases! I enjoy building lifelong relationships with my patients and helping them to achieve their optimal health goals.

What Can Patients Expect?

During the initial consultation visit, I sit down with every new patient to really learn all about them and their GI health history. I find this time to be extremely valuable as it allows for patients to express their specific GI concerns. I then discuss with patients their likely diagnoses and the various tests and/or procedures that we will plan for their medical workup and care. I provide educational resources for patients on various GI conditions so that they can make informed decisions regarding their plan of care.

Specialization

Although I treat a wide variety of GI conditions, my specific interests are in inflammatory bowel disease, GERD, colon cancer screening, and various liver diseases.
