��������Ƶ

As a hepatologist and transplant provider at ��������Ƶ, I am deeply committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. My philosophy of care centers on treating the whole person, not just the specific liver disease, and I am passionate about dispelling myths and misinformation surrounding liver conditions. I find immense fulfillment in my role, especially in witnessing the resilience of patients, the altruism of organ donors, and being part of a cohesive team dedicated to the miracle of transplantation.

I specialize in managing a wide range of liver diseases, including advanced liver disease and liver transplantation. With extensive experience, I have developed a deep understanding of how liver disease can affect other organ systems and the importance of a collaborative approach to care. My credentials include serving as the medical director of living donor liver transplantation at the ��������Ƶ Transplant Institute, where I work to maximize transplant opportunities and ensure the safety of our living liver donors.

Throughout my career, I have been actively involved in creating educational materials and advocating for policies that support patients with liver disease. I have worked with the American Liver Foundation and Donate Life Connecticut to develop resources and curricula aimed at preventing end organ disease and promoting organ donation. My dedication to patient education and advocacy has been recognized with honors such as the Physician of the Year award from the American Liver Foundation.

My journey into medicine began in high school, where I was inspired by the admirable bedside manner of cardiovascular surgeons I worked with part-time. This early exposure to the medical field fueled my fascination with human anatomy and disease, ultimately leading me to pursue a career in gastroenterology and hepatology. My medical training further solidified my interest in liver disease and transplantation, and I am honored to be part of the ��������Ƶ team, where I collaborate with an astounding group of specialists to provide exceptional care to our patients.
