As a gastroenterologist, I’ve built my practice on a simple belief: the best medical decisions come from a true partnership between physician and patient. My role isn’t to dictate your care—it’s to listen carefully to your concerns, help you understand what’s happening in your body, and guide you in making diagnostic and therapeutic choices that lead to the best possible outcomes for your health. I genuinely love this educational part of medicine; helping patients understand their conditions is one of the most rewarding aspects of my practice. I know that digestive health issues can be deeply personal and sometimes difficult to discuss, and I’m committed to creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

I earned my medical degree from the University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine and completed my gastroenterology fellowship at the Mayo Clinic, training alongside internationally-recognized experts in digestive diseases. This rigorous clinical foundation shaped not just my clinical skills, but my philosophy: medicine is as much about understanding the person as it is about treating the condition.

When I’m not caring for patients, you’ll often find me on my bicycle, training and exploring local routes. I’m also an avid reader and audiobook listener and cherish time traveling with my family. These pursuits remind me of what matters most: health, lifelong progress, and the ability to fully engage with life—a perspective I bring to every patient interaction.

Whether you’re dealing with a new diagnosis, managing a chronic condition, or seeking answers to concerning symptoms, I’m here to help you navigate your path forward with confidence and clarity. I look forward to meeting you.
