Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is one of the most interesting fields in medicine as it combines technologically advanced procedures with the thoughtful practice of medicine. It is an intellectually and emotionally rewarding profession. I manage conditions across the multiple organs that make up the gastrointestinal tract. I am often able via procedures to directly visualize and diagnose conditions firsthand and then prescribe appropriate medical treatment based on those findings or in some cases to address the problem during the procedure. The specialty also allows me to develop long term relationships with many patients such as those with inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Finally, with a focus on colon cancer screening and prevention through colonoscopy, I can help reduce the incidence of the second leading cause of cancer death on a daily basis.

Do you have a specialty of interest in Gastroenterology?

I treat all conditions and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver.
