About Me

care philosophy

I spend enough time, sitting down with my patients to understand all of the issues related to their health.  Although patients see me for a gastroenterology consult, I often find other issues affecting their health and either address them or refer them to the proper specialists. 

biography

I grew up in Muscatine, Iowa and I have kept a small town perspective and lessons I learned from the physicians who cared for my  family and me when I was growing up.  I have won awards in Medical School, during my residency and am a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.
