Summary

I completed General Surgery training at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. While at The Ohio State University, I performed research in pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma and I obtained a Masters of Science degree in Medical Science. I then completed additional fellowship training at Florida Hospital for Advanced Upper Gastrointestinal and HepatoPancreatoBiliary Surgery. I currently practice at Blue Diamond Surgical Specialists in West Palm Beach, Florida where I treat patients in General Surgery and Surgical Oncology. I perform surgery for cancers of the: breast, gastric, pancreatic, liver, gallbladder, biliary system, colorectal cancer, melanoma, and sarcoma. I perform open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted surgery.
