"It was a desire to serve others that ultimately drove my decision to become a physician. This sense of calling was reinforced early in my medical training when I first had the opportunity to care for and emotionally connect with patients."
What Inspired Me to Become a Doctor
Two words: curiosity and compassion. My decision to become a doctor was driven largely by values instilled in me by my parents.
Philosophy of Care
The idea of being a physician is focused on helping others regardless of circumstance, focused on facilitating people leading healthier and therefore happier lives. I can't imagine a more fulfilling job.
Favorite Part of Medicine
My career in medicine has been a rewarding experience. I take pride in positively impacting the lives of my patients. Finally, I greatly enjoy my role as an educator and mentor.
Areas of Clinical Expertise
My clinical interests include:
  • Colon cancer screening
  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease
  • Liver disease
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
Hobbies
I live with my wife and my two kids. I enjoy spending time with family and playing tennis, pickle ball and badminton.
