Summary
- I am a Board Certified General Surgeon and Fellowship Trained GI & Bariatric Laparoscopic surgeon. I have been practicing in Charlotte at Carolinas Medical Center since 2004. My areas of clinical expertise include a wide range of bariatric procedures, colon resections for benign and malignant disease, hernia (ventral & inguinal), anti-reflux surgery including hiatal hernia & achalasia, and gallbladder surgery. In additional to "standard" laparoscopic surgery, I have extensive experience with single incision laparoscopic techniques.
I have been the Program Director for the Bariatric Fellowship at CMC since the program's inception in 2005.
