I believe in treating all patients with respect and compassion. I am passionate about providing high quality care for people with liver disease, and preventing complications. The liver is a fascinating organ that is responsible for many functions in the body — I want to keep our livers as healthy as possible.

My approach to patient care centers around compassion, empathy, and getting to know you as an individual. As your healthcare provider, you can expect a level of understanding that goes beyond just your medical needs. I'm motivated by my passion for serving the community and working collaboratively with my patients. Specializing in gastroenterology allows me to combine my interest in education with hands-on patient care. For me, a successful outcome of the care I provide means building lasting patient-doctor relationships. I strive to take time to truly understand you – your interests, family, and health concerns. Overcoming health challenges becomes more meaningful when we share these lasting connections. I listen to my patients and am dedicated to addressing their concerns and questions. I try to simplify medical terminology with visuals like pictures, diagrams, and notes. I want to ensure that you understand your diagnosis and the path forward. The most rewarding aspect of my work is the privilege of helping my patients during vulnerable moments. I understand the fear and uncertainty that can come with being a patient. I'm here to provide support and make immediate impacts through endoscopy procedures. I aim to ensure that your visit with me, whether in the clinic or during an endoscopic procedure, is comfortable, valued, and holistic.
