I enjoy spending my free time with family, friends and my dog. I love to travel which allows me to explore different foods and cultures.

I grew up watching my father who was a successful pediatrician and was always attracted to the medical field. As a gastroenterologist I get to apply my medical knowledge along with procedural skills to diagnose and treat a broad array of digestive disorders and help my patients lead a better quality of life. The sense of fulfillment that comes with helping another human being is the essence of what makes me enjoy what I do.
