Appointment Information
Mankato, MN
Hospital and Clinic
1025 Marsh St., Mankato, MN 56001Provider's Bio
I specialize in preventing, diagnosing and treating digestive tract and liver disorders. These mainly include conditions involving the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon, with a special focus on liver disease and liver transplantation.
I highly value the three shields of Mayo Clinic, as my clinical practice drives my passion for research and education.
I believe that providing the best care should be based on treating patients and family members with sensitivity and empathy, listening to patients and dedicating our efforts to meet the needs of the patient.
