I take care of all kinds of GI illness. I have an interest in liver disease, so I treat patients who have Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, fatty liver disease, autoimmune liver disease, or if they have more advanced liver diseases such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. We also do treatment for other GI illness such as inflammatory bowel disease, IBS, celiac disease, etc. I do most of the procedures that are part of gastroenterology, including screening for colon cancer.

The best part of being the physician is the patients because you get to see them after you've operated on them and see how they grow. You get to see how they change their lives, quit smoking, walk when they couldn't before. I tend to get really close to my patients so I learn about their families and their grandkids and they'll tell you these stories that make you happy to be part of their lives.
