About
Stomach and colon issues may often significantly impact the quality of a patient’s life. My primary goal is to, whenever possible, help relieve the suffering of my patients; it is why I became a physician.
My commitment during any appointment with a patient is to be fully present and focused. I consider us a team; the patient and I are working toward the same goal to identify a treatment plan that is appropriate and manageable for the patient. Ultimately, it is the patient’s choice and my job is to explain the risks and benefits of all the options.
While I see patients for a wide variety of gastrointestinal conditions, I have special interest in hemorrhoid banding (to eliminate hemorrhoid symptoms) and treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). I approach IBS treatment through mind and body, treating the whole person. I am also interested in helping patients with liver problems, such as viral hepatitis and fatty liver.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my wife traveling and dining out.
