Overview
I am a fellowship-trained endocrine surgeon specializing in the treatment of endocrine diseases involving the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. My interest in this field stems from witnessing the strength and resilience of individuals in my community affected by endocrine diseases, which inspired my dedication to this specialty. The most fulfilling aspect of my work is the opportunity to care for patients in our community. I consider it both a privilege and a responsibility to ensure that my patients clearly understand their diagnoses and treatment options, and to support them throughout their journey. I am committed to developing patient-centered, multidisciplinary treatment plans that align personal values with evidence-based care.
