I provide elective and emergent general surgical care. My practice involves treatment of a wide variety of disorders including gallbladder, hernia, appendix, skin lesion excision, and disorders of the large and small bowel. My clinical focus is on minimally invasive surgery, with an emphasis on robotic surgery. In addition to surgical procedures, I perform upper and lower endoscopy, including colonoscopy for colon cancer screening. After graduating Georgetown University School of Medicine, I completed my general surgical residency at SUNY Buffalo. I have been in practice locally since 2002.
