About
I am a thoracic surgeon specializing in surgery of the lung, airway, esophagus, stomach, chest wall and mediastinum. My expertise is in minimally invasive surgery, lung and esophageal cancer, benign esophageal disorders and lung transplantation.
I also perform robotic-assisted surgeries, to provide faster recovery, minimal scarring and shortened hospital stays.
My clinical appointments are at University Hospital and MD Anderson Mays Cancer Center.
Career Highlights
During my surgical training, I completed a National Institutes of Health-funded research fellowship investigating pathways of rejection and tolerance following heart and lung transplantation. I am board-certified by the American Board of Surgery and board-eligible by the American Board of Thoracic Surgery.
Philosophy of Care Statement
I value a patient-centered approach to medical care. My primary goal is to partner with each patient in order to achieve the ideal outcome, considering their desires and specific health needs.
