About Me
I am a board-certified transplant surgeon at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in diagnosing and treating patients in need of organ transplantation, with a particular focus on liver transplantation and complex abdominal surgeries.
My patients can rely on me for high-quality, compassionate care and honest communication in every encounter. I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of skilled experts to ensure each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and values.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am passionate about educating and mentoring the next generation of providers. I am a professor of Surgery in the Division of Transplant Surgery at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I also serve as Surgical Director of Liver Transplantation and Co-Director of the COPPER Laboratory, where I contribute to advancing transplant science and surgical innovation.
