Summary
I have been practicing general surgery in both rural and suburban community settings since completing my residency in 2018. In that time, I have appreciated the benefit of minimally invasive surgery for elective and emergent conditions. I have completed over 600 robotic surgeries since integrating them into my practice in 2023. I perform diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures, treat a wide variety of skin/soft tissue conditions under local anesthesia in the office, and have in interest in treating a broad range of surgical conditions.
