About Me

I am a surgeon who specializes in treating conditions involving the colon and rectum. In my practice, I treat a broad variety of patients including those with common benign conditions such as hemorrhoids as well as more complex problems like advanced rectal cancer. I utilize a variety of minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopy, robotics and transanal surgery, in an effort to lessen the physical impact of surgery on my patients. I find it rewarding to work with a team of colleagues in different disciplines to tailor a treatment plan designed to produce the best possible outcome for my patients with colorectal cancer. The satisfaction I get from being able to offer hope to a patient facing a new cancer diagnosis is why I do what I do.

Clinical Focus and Research

My Research Interests

My research efforts parallel my clinical interest in the multimodality management of rectal cancer. I am interested in molecular profiling of rectal cancer in order to tailor radiation, chemotherapy and surgery to a specific patient's rectal cancer and achieve the best possible clinical outcome. I am also working alongside basic scientists to develop novel therapeutic agents that enhance response to radiation therapy in locally advanced rectal cancer.
