Clinical Interests
My clinical interests include surgical management of fecal incontinence, constipation, pelvic floor abnormalities as well as the surgical management of colorectal cancers, Crohn's disease, Ulcerative Colitis, diverticulitis and anorectal diseases.
Care Philosophy
I believe in a multidiscipline approach to colorectal diseases. I am dedicated to management of colorectal diseases in a minimal approach (robotically and laparoscopically) if possible.
