Professional Interests
I am especially interested in performing emergency general surgery, advanced laparoscopy, skin lesions (benign/malignant), breast, dialysis access, basic fluoroscopy guided procedures, and peri-anal surgery.
I use my experience with patients as a tool for innovation and constantly conduct searches in current literature to improve patient outcomes. I have very high standards for the care of my patients and would prefer an environment that strongly supports evidence-based medicine and apply the highest standards in patient care.
