Rated 4.7 out of 5 starsCardiothoracic Surgery9452 Medical Center Dr Rm 3E-313La Jolla, CA 920373.9 miles awayCare PhilosophyIm a thoracic surgeon who primarily sees lung and esophageal cancer patients but treats benign esophageal patients as well. Ive been at Duke for about 20 years and enjoy working at a place with top-notch clinicians doing cutting-edge work. I became a doctor because I was always interested in math and science and had the privilege of shadowing a physician who lived next door to me. The more experience I had with medicine the more I liked it. I enjoy surgery because I like the process of identifying problems and then fixing them. The best part of my job is helping patients overcome cancer. Many patients I see arrive feeling anxious but are surprised with how well they do and how quickly they can bounce back from surgery. Watching that process unfold continues to be extremely inspiring. Im originally from Pittsburgh but my family is proud to call North Carolina home.
