About Me
I chose a career in medicine to have the unbelievable privilege of caring for another person. As a surgical oncologist, I often see patients with difficult diagnoses. My goal is to collaborate with them and, through shared decision making, come up with a plan that best fits their goals and values. I see this opportunity to counsel patients and determine the best path forward as the most rewarding part of my job. I feel fortunate that, as a surgeon, I can continue to see my patients regularly and value these long-term relationships.
Among the top conditions I treat are liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, GI malignancy, cutaneous malignancy and peritoneal surface malignancy. I perform a variety of specialized procedures, including open and laparoscopic liver and pancreatic surgery, laparoscopic-assisted esophagectomy and minimally invasive GI surgery.
My clinical interests include GI tract malignancies, esophagus cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatopancreaticobiliary cancer and melanoma. My research interests are focused on tumor microenvironments, tumor ablative therapies and population health and screening.
