Philosophy:
As a thoracic surgeon, I enjoy treating patients with a wide variety of illness to help them to achieve an outstanding quality of life. I am interested in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, but I inidividualize each patient's plan to ensure they receive the best surgical care available. I treat every patient with CPR: Compassion, Patience, and Respect. My special areas of focus are oncology (lung and esophageal cancer), gastroesophageal reflux, and Barrett's esophagus.
