Overview
My practice focuses on surgical treatments for both benign and malignant disorders of the lung and esophagus. From thoracic oncology to foregut disorders such as paraesophageal hernia, surgery requires passion and dedication. My job is to provide my patients with quality and comprehensive care through a multidisciplinary approach, ensuring that their needs are met in a way that is tailored to each specific individual. The art of medicine is in patient care and that is always at the forefront of my practice.

Many years ago, I came across a quote from Mahatma Gandhi that said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”. Since that time, those words have guided my professional life from the field I chose to how I care for my patients who experience discomfort from acid reflux, hiatal hernia and paraesophageal hernia. With every individual and their families, I make sure that they appreciate my understanding of how their health issues provide them with new stresses that may leave them confused and scared. As a result, I pride myself on reassuring my patients and making sure that by the time they leave their clinic visit they know that I have their best interests at heart. Personally, my wife and I are the proud parents of three boys. Consequently, I like to spend my free time making use of their unlimited energy by running them around at all the great parks in the local area.
