I strongly believe that the doctor-patient relationship is key in the practice of medicine and the most essential component for the delivery of high quality health care in the diagnosis and management of disease. As such, as a gastroenterologist and hepatologist, my favorite part of the day starts with getting to know the patient. I have a passion for taking care of patients with liver disease with a particular interest in liver cancer and liver transplantation. In addition to my clinical interests, I also have an interest in improving how health care is delivered to patients using innovative and cutting edge technologies.

"I have been a practicing physician for more than 15 years, with experience in both hospital medicine and primary care. My idol and mentor is my uncle, who practiced in rural Hungary for over three decades. He was loved and respected by his community as he built personal relationships and friendships with every family he treated over many years. Spending a lot of summers with him while I grew up made me realize that medicine was the profession I needed to choose. My philosophy of ""listen to what your patient is telling you"" has been proven very effective in getting to the diagnosis fast and efficiently. I enjoy helping people and getting to know the whole person, as people are different and treatment needs to be individualized. I am happily married with five kids (four grown up) and enjoy outdoor activities including hiking, farming and traveling.".

I am a general gastroenterologist who serves as medical director of Duke gastroenterology at Brier Creek. I see many patients with celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, reflux disease and diarrheal disease. Even though I work mostly in the outpatient setting, I do many procedures, including upper endoscopies and colonoscopies. There’s nothing I find more rewarding than telling a patient they won’t get cancer, because we’ve found and removed a troubling polyp. I encourage dialogue so patients feel involved in the decisions about their own care. I believe that a lot of medicine is an art, not a science. There’s often no perfectly “right” answer. Involving patients empowers them to take care of their own bodies and make decisions that are right for them. I started as a nutritionist, but wanted to focus on taking care of the entire body, so I switched to medicine. I also have an interest in women’s health.
