Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I strive to combine advanced technical expertise with a compassionate, patient first approach. Gastrointestinal conditions can be complex and often stressful for patients, so I prioritize clear explanations and collaborative decision-making. My training in advanced endoscopy allows me to offer minimally invasive solutions for complex GI diseases while ensuring patients feel informed, comfortable, and confident in their care.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
The most important thing my patients should expect from me is that I will listen carefully, communicate clearly, and approach their care with both expertise and compassion. My goal is to help patients understand their condition and feel confident in the treatment plan we create together. What I ask from patients is honesty and engagement when we work together as partners, we can achieve the best results.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you are not caring for patients?
Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family and staying active. I appreciate time outdoors, exploring the Hudson Valley, and finding ways to recharge so I can bring my full attention and energy back to my patients.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I was drawn to gastroenterology because it sits at the intersection of thoughtful clinical care and advanced procedural medicine. As an advanced endoscopist, I value the ability to diagnose and treat complex gastrointestinal diseases using minimally invasive techniques. The most rewarding part of the field is being able to offer solutions that can relieve symptoms, prevent disease progression, or even treat conditions that previously required major surgery.
