Overview
As a colorectal surgeon, I specialize in the surgical management of a wide array of problems involving the small intestine, colon, rectum, and anus. My patients may be dealing with cancer or a variety of benign diseases including diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease or anorectal problems. I utilize minimally invasive techniques including robotics, laparoscopy, endoscopy, and transanal surgery. My primary focus is on ensuring that patients receive high quality, compassionate care while optimizing patient outcomes. My research interests include improving patient outcomes after colorectal surgery and quality improvement.

Duke Regional Hospital Colorectal Surgery
I am a colorectal surgeon, which means that I am a surgeon of the abdomen. I treat patients with diseases related to the gastrointestinal tract, specifically with diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and also GI cancers, such as colon cancer, rectal cancer, and anal cancer. I try to engage with the patient as much as I can. I use as many visual things as possible, pictures or diagrams, to help explain conditions or treatments a little easier. The benefit of coming to Duke is that we have multiple specialties, so if a diagnosis is unclear to me, I have a team of colleagues who help me and patients can be comfortable knowing a team of specialists can help find a solution.
