In medical school I would never have imagined that I would choose Hepatology as a specialty. However I was fortunate to train at the National Institutes of Health and UCSF and was mentored by some of the preeminent Hepatologists in the world. As such I have developed a great interest in liver disease and liver transplant. I find great satisfaction in making a difficult diagnosis and seeing my patients transform after their liver transplant. My research interests are viral hepatitis and liver cancer. Dr. Lutchman is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Liver Cancer. His top areas of expertise are Hepatitis, Hepatitis C, Fibrolamellar Carcinoma, Liver Transplant, and Hepatectomy.
