Overview
As a general gastroenterologist, I care for patients with a wide range of digestive conditions involving the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts and liver. I’m drawn to the balance gastroenterology offers between clinical medicine and procedures, as it is both intellectually engaging and hands-on. I enjoy the variety of cases I encounter each day, from preventive care such as colorectal cancer screening to the management of complex conditions in the inpatient setting. My overall approach focuses on respect, communication and shared decision-making to help patients achieve their best possible health outcomes.
