Overview
I am trained in General Surgery and completed a fellowship in minimally invasive surgery focused on advanced techniques for complex abdominal wall hernias. My clinical practice encompasses abdominal wall hernia repairs of all varieties (ventral, incisional, flank, inguinal, femoral, obturator, lumbar), with a specific interest in complex ventral incisional hernias requiring abdominal wall reconstruction with component separation. I utilize various methods for hernia repairs, including open, laparoscopic and robotic techniques. The aspect of my job that I most enjoy is restoring a functional abdominal wall for patients with large, complex ventral hernias and witnessing the vast improvement in their quality of life after surgery.
