Duke is where I learned surgery, was taught how to interact with patients, and began my professional training. I am returning to Duke after working at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and later Emory (Atlanta) as a transplant and hepatobiliary surgeon. I enjoy working with adults and children who need surgery of the liver and biliary tract, liver vascular surgery, or kidney transplantation. I am actively engaged in research to reduce the risk of rejection of organ transplants. My wife and I have three sons, and we enjoy sports and being outdoors.

The most important role of a doctor is to identify and appropriately treat conditions while at the same time making complex information understandable for every patient. I believe that It is important to give parents and children the tools, knowledge, and vocabulary to be their best advocate. From complicated heart disease diagnosed in the fetal patient to the care of infants, children, and young adults, I hope to help families maintain heart health.
