Summary
- I am board certified in Thoracic and General surgery and have practiced as a thoracic surgeon at Hackensack University Medical Center since 2013. I treat benign and malignant disorders of the lungs, esophagus, and mediastinum with a focus on minimally invasive techniques including robotic surgery using the DaVinci surgical robot, VATS, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), and navigational bronchoscopy using the ION robotic bronchoscopy system. I was the first physician to perform an ION case in the state of New Jersey and am committed to utilizing newer technologies in order to perform more lung sparing surgeries and help patients spend less time in the hospital and recover more quickly.
