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 colorectal 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.
