Summary
- I am board certified in both Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology. I have completely my General GI fellowship at Washington University School of Medicine, followed by an extra year of training in Advanced Endoscopy at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
I have special interest in advanced endoscopy, especially esophageal diseases including Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer, and pancreatic and biliary diseases including cancer diagnosis and treatment.
In 2016, I have joined the advanced endoscopy faculty at Oklahoma University Health Science Center. In 2019, I was elected to be the president of Arkansas-Oklahoma Society of Endoscopy and I have joined SSM Medical Group, I was appointed as the director of Advanced Endoscopy at St. Anthony Hospital.
Due to my significant contribution in the field of gastroenterology and endoscopy I have been designated to be a fellow at both societies, the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE).
