Summary

  • I am a Board Certified General Surgeon practicing in Central Arkansas. My main area of interest is the diagnosis and surgical treatment of Foregut disorders including gastroesophageal reflux and its complications, paraesophageal hiatal hernia and achalasia. I am particularly interested in the Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) as a Natural Orifice Surgery (NOS) for the treatment of reflux and the LINX procedure (magnetic augmentation of the lower esophageal sphincter). I also have an interest in the diagnosis and treatment of Barrett's esophagus by radiofrequency ablation (HALO), endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)
