About me
I was inspired to become a surgeon after sustaining a knee injury in high school. After recovery, I was convinced I would be an orthopedic surgeon. During my time as a student at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, I became drawn to general surgery for the variety it offers. I further narrowed my field to colorectal while a resident at the University of Florida, where I received strong mentorship. Following residency, I completed one year of fellowship training in colon and rectal surgery at Brown University. Currently, I serve as the Chief of Surgery for the North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health system where I treat patients for a wide range of colon and rectal pathology, in addition to general surgery conditions.
My goal is to provide exemplary patient care. I strive to offer renowned operative care, reduce the length of hospital stays and minimize surgical complications. I am a member of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, the American College of Surgeons, the Florida Chapter of the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical Association. I also am a Surgical Education Research Fellow (SERF) with an interest in robotic surgical education.
Outside of practice, I am a fantasy football enthusiast and avid snow skier. I also enjoy cooking and reading.
