About Me
As a gastroenterologist, I treat people who have conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, including chronic abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhea, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and liver disease. I also offer colon cancer screening and provide care for people who have difficult polyps.
My experience in endoscopic procedures is extensive—I have performed more than 30,000—and includes colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, and treatment of hemorrhoids. I also have special training in therapeutic endoscopy and cancer treatment.
I partner with my patients in their care. My job is to help them reach their goals and get back to their lives, and so I encourage my patients to play a central role in their care and treatment decision-making. I also understand that each person experiences a condition differently, and so I tailor treatment plans to each individual.
My research focuses on hepatitis C, IBD, pancreatitis, and therapeutic endoscopy. I have also been involved in National Cancer Institute–sponsored research about the prevention of colon polyps and colon cancer. I have authored multiple articles and book chapters pertaining to gastroenterology, liver diseases, and nutrition.
I am honored to have been included in Castle Connolly’s “Top Doctors†series since 2016. In addition, I have received the Vitals Compassionate Doctor Award, a certification granted to doctors who treat their patients with utmost kindness, six times since 2010, and the Vitals Patients’ Choice 5th Anniversary Award, a recognition granted only to those doctors whose ratings have reflected excellence in care for five years in a row. Only 1 percent of all doctors in the United States are bestowed this honor by their patients.
