Summary

  • I am endocrine surgeon practicing at the Cleveland Clinic since 2015. I completed general surgery residency at Rush University Medical Center and John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County followed by comprehensive endocrine surgery fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic. My clinical, scholarly, and public health interests include surgical outcomes, health services, healthcare disparities, the surgeon workforce, surgeon-performed ultrasound, and improving communication, professionalism, and diversity within surgical education.

    • Endocrine Surgery's Status as a Specialty

    Specialty-focused, fellowship-trained endocrine surgeons meet the growing needs of patients, communities, and trainees.
