Biography

I am a board-certified colorectal surgeon with advanced training in minimally invasive techniques. I chose this specialty because it offers the unique opportunity to provide all aspects of care – medical, surgical and endoscopic interventions. One of the most rewarding aspects of my field is the ability to build long-term relationships with patients through ongoing follow-ups and continuity of care.

Practicing at a leading academic institution like The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center allows me to offer more to my patients. Through a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach, our team delivers personalized care for complex conditions, such as anal and rectal cancers and inflammatory bowel disease. Together, our physicians and researchers develop tailored treatment plans that reflect each patient’s unique needs and goals.

I value the collegial atmosphere at the Ohio State University College of Medicine, and the strong culture of research and education. The vibrant sports culture adds to the energy of the campus. I especially enjoy mentoring students and young professionals, which not only gives me an opportunity to share my expertise but also allows me to learn from others.

Outside of work, I spend time with my family and enjoy being outdoors.
