About Me
I’m a general surgeon at the University of Vermont Medical Center and a professor at the Larner College of Medicine at UVM in Burlington, Vermont. I also serve as the division chief of general surgery.
My clinical interests focus on a range of conditions and procedures, including achalasia, adrenal gland tumors, esophageal cancer, foregut surgery, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), hiatal and paraesophageal hernias, splenectomy and stomach cancer.
