I was attracted to gastroenterology because I realized I could help people who had complex illnesses, such as gastrointestinal cancers, by performing procedures and providing ongoing clinical care. Because my grandfather had colon cancer, I also liked the idea of raising awareness for colon cancer screenings and prevention.

As a gastroenterologist and advanced endoscopist, my expertise is in screening people for cancer and diagnosing and treating them for complex gastrointestinal conditions, such as cancers, precancerous conditions, and difficult to find gastrointestinal bleeding.

I perform endoscopic procedures including colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, and double balloon enteroscopy. I also perform endoscopic procedures for Barrett’s esophagus, such as radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation. In my research, I evaluate new technologies to improve our ability to screen for, diagnose, and treat cancerous and precancerous gastrointestinal conditions.
