I see patients with chronic liver diseases. I have a clinical and research interest in metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease, formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. I am interested in identifying patients at high risk for MASLD, who as a result can develop liver inflammation, liver scarring, and cirrhosis. My passion is to develop care pathways for patients with MASLD and liver fibrosis to specialty care, create sustainable multidisciplinary and lifestyle programs and provide therapeutic options on the horizon. I also have expertise in the medical management of obesity that I incorporate into my liver practice to care for my patients with liver diseases.
