I am a fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon and a board certified general surgeon. Creating a welcoming and supportive environment for you is important to me, and it is vital to caring for you as a whole person. Specifically in the Bariatric Program, through a multidisciplinary approach with endocrinology and dietitians, you will be thoroughly educated and cared for in order to ensure positive long-term outcomes.
In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors with my dog and traveling to new places.
