From the Doctor:
I chose to go into gastroenterology and advanced endoscopy because of my love for medicine and for caring for patients. I feel that colonoscopies and other therapeutic testing are very important simple tests for detecting colon cancer. Through these screenings, it is possible to detect and diagnose early cancer and increases the possibility of curing colon cancer.
I believe in spending time with my patients and that listening is the most important step in treating gastrointestinal problems and cancer. My patients know their bodies and what’s going on with them, through attentive listening I am able to speed up the diagnosis process and understand their conditions.
When I am not at the office, I like to spend my time traveling with my friends and family. I am also involved in sports and play competitive basketball.
