Summary
- I am a board certified colon and rectal surgeon practicing at Franciscan Health Indianapolis since 1999. I have particular expertise in laparoscopic/robotic surgery for colon and rectal cancer, colonoscopy, and anorectal surgery with a focus on HPV related anal dysplasia.
In 2019, I graduated from the University of Arizona Integrative Medicine program, and am in the process of developing robust and data-driven wellness protocols for all of Franciscan Health, to be launched in 2021.
