I am a cancer surgeon who specializes in treating patients with pre-cancerous and cancerous conditions of the pancreas, liver, bile ducts, stomach, and adrenal glands.

I aim to restore hope by connecting with patients individually and providing them with options for treatment when they might feel they have none.
