Why Gastroenterology?

From family meals to social gatherings, much of our culture is centered around the dining table. Because of this, digestive diseases can impact far more than just physical health—they can affect a person’s entire quality of life. I was drawn to the field of Gastroenterology and Hepatology because it offers the opportunity to empower patients and make meaningful improvements that extend well beyond the exam room.

Specialization

I practice general gastroenterology and treat a wide range of digestive conditions. I have a particular interest in colon cancer screening and early detection, as well as Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR), a technique that was a key focus during my fellowship training.

What Can Patients Expect?

I believe that a strong doctor-patient relationship is the foundation of effective care. My patients can expect attentive listening, honest and clear communication, and thoughtful guidance through their digestive health journey. I work closely with each individual to create a care plan that aligns with their goals and enhances their overall quality of life.

Outside the Office

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, cooking, and playing guitar.
