Why Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is a field that encompasses multiple crucial organ systems, including the liver, intestines, and pancreas. A healthy gastrointestinal system is the foundation for good health, and GI conditions can significantly impact a patient’s daily life. Being an expert in this field allows me to help patients by using a variety of resources including diet, natural therapies, medications, and endoscopy. It is immensely satisfying to improve a patient’s quality of life by providing relief for their symptoms and to educate patients on prevention of diseases, such as colon cancer or cirrhosis. I also appreciate the academic opportunities within Gastroenterology. I enjoy teaching medical students, residents, and fellows in training, and I continue to participate in conducting clinically oriented research.

 

What Can Patients Expect?

I believe establishing a meaningful relationship is essential, and I take the time to learn about all aspects of a patient’s life that can impact their gastrointestinal symptoms. I aim to empower patients in understanding their medical conditions and to tailor my diagnostic and treatment plans to meet each patient’s individual needs. I am passionate about helping patients incorporate healthy lifestyle principles to manage their gastrointestinal conditions in a way that is compatible with their daily lives.
