About Me
I am a board-certified general surgeon at Memorial Healthcare System and perform a wide variety of procedures, from soft tissue resections to weight loss surgery. I completed my surgical training in New York City where I was exposed to a diverse group of patients and pathologies. I subsequently pursued a fellowship in laparoscopic foregut and bariatric surgery where I focused on weight loss surgery-- including the gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, as well as treatment of hernias, dysphagia and reflux disease. I use mostly minimally invasive techniques and incorporate robotic technology, especially for inguinal and ventral hernia repairs, where I feel patients really benefit from the approach.
I knew that I wanted to be a doctor for a long time, but didn't always know what specialty I would pursue. As a young adult, I loved drawing and photography, but in school was most drawn to the field of biology. Surgery is the perfect discipline for me because I can combine my visual and manual skills with my mastery of biology/pathology.
I love operating and enjoy using my skills to directly help patients to improve their lives. I am always open and upfront about the realities of surgery and encourage patients to be active decision makers in their care. I especially enjoy bariatric surgery as I feel that it is an opportunity to help patients change their life trajectory and improve their overall health and longevity.
