My bio
With over 20 years of practice, I would like all my patients, current and future, to understand my dedication to help them achieve their best quality of life. I am a clinical professor within the University of Florida Division of Gastroenterology, Heptatology and Nutrition. I treat patients with complications of portal hypertension and have a particular interest in patients who have complications of end stage liver disease. My role helps connect patients to the best possible treatment path available upon each patients presenting issues.
During medical school at Creighton University, I became fascinated by the physiologic changes that occur in the body in the setting of liver disease that led me later to become a hepatologist. I completed my internship, residency, fellowship in internal medicine, along with a fellowship in gastroenterology, at the Medical University of South Carolina.
When not at UF Health Shands Hospital or Malcom Randall VA Medical Center, I enjoy being a member of various academic liver societies, both domestically and internationally. Outside of medicine, I enjoy exploring family genealogy.
