Overview
I perform upper endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures, and help evaluate GI disorders. I have special interests in the esophagus, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and esophageal motor disorders, such as achalasia. I am passionate about clinical care, education and mentorship, guideline development, and clinical investigation. At Duke, I have been awarded the Paul Killenberg Faculty Teaching and Malcolm Tyor Faculty Scholar Awards.
