About Me

Care Philosophy
  • I firmly believe patients should play an active role in their medical decisions. Clear communication, empathy, and respect for all patients are key. I strive to provide high-quality, evidence-based care. I have advanced training in complex endoscopy procedures used to manage and treat gastrointestinal cancers, large polyps and diseases of the pancreas, bile ducts, gallbladder, and liver. I plan to use these advanced techniques to offer cutting-edge and innovative treatment options. Advanced Endoscopy is a constantly evolving field with new techniques and devices used to help patients. In current times, we can treat conditions that traditionally required major surgery with a less invasive approach. I've also always had a special interest in caring for women and underserved communities.
