Overview

I am a general surgeon with a focus on abdominal disorders, such as peptic ulcer disease, gallbladder disease, and hernias. I use minimally-invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotics, to help speed up recovery for my patients. I believe in working closely with my patients to make sure they understand their health issues and treatment options to figure out the best plan for them as an individual. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife who is a pediatrician and our son. We like cooking, exercising, and getting to see friends.
