Overview

I’m a fellowship-trained surgical oncologist who specializes in the surgical management of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies—including soft tissue sarcomas and pancreas, colorectal and gastric cancers. Many of my patients have advanced malignancies and I am always amazed at their resilience. Their determination to fight inspires me to aggressively pursue every surgical option and to study novel techniques to improve surgical outcomes. One of the most important reasons for patients to be treated at Duke is the emphasis on a team-oriented approach to every patient. Nearly every surgical cancer patient is discussed in a multidisciplinary tumor conference in order to assure state of the art care. When I am not in the hospital, my wife and I can be found chasing our two young children or running with our dog.

My primary area of clinical interest is surgical oncology. My primary focus includes the care of patients with melanoma or other potentially aggressive skin or soft tissue tumors, as well as those in need of lymph node surgery. In addition to patient care and research, I am committed to education and training. It is important to me to be accessible, engaged, and thoughtful in my approach to interacting with patients, colleagues, learners, and other stakeholders. For me, a principle guiding force is a deep-seated belief in patient-centered, multidisciplinary, compassionate, state-of-the-art care that aims to serve our community and support the mission and values of Duke Health.
