Biography: Variety is what led me to become a colorectal surgeon. \n It's a specialty that allows me to perform a number of procedures and interventions and to be part of the full spectrum of care - from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. I love performing outpatient anorectal procedures that can drastically improve a patient's quality of life, as well as abdominal and rectal surgery for cancer, diverticulitis or inflammatory bowel disease, robotic surgery, hernia repairs and endoscopy. \n My approach to healthcare starts with being a careful listener. I spend the time necessary to hear a patient's concerns, evaluate their symptoms and review treatment options with them. I pride myself on staying up to date on the latest research and in taking a team approach to treatment by discussing a patient's care with their primary as well as with consulting physicians and providers. \n I balance the science of reaching a diagnosis with the art of providing more than one treatment option. Having an extensive discussion of risks, benefits and alternative therapies allows the patient autonomy. \n I'm a member of the American Society of Colon & Rectal Surgeons and the American College of Surgeons. In 2024, I was honored to be listed among Charlotte Magazine's "Charlotte's Top Doctors." \n My wife and I have lived in Charlotte since 2022. I enjoy traveling, hiking, water sports, playing the piano and exercising. We love taking our dog, Nora, on North Carolina's many public parks and trails.

Biography: I am one of only a few Charlotte surgeons whose medical training includes a dual fellowship in hepatobiliary (liver, pancreas and bile duct) surgery and surgical oncology (cancer surgery). This means I focus on care for individuals with liver, pancreas, biliary, stomach, neuroendocrine, sarcomas, ovarian and peritoneal disease. These areas of medicine focus on less common tumors that can have a dramatic impact on a patient's quality of life and well-being. That is why I have dedicated my career to caring for patients who need a specialist with expertise in treating these diseases, and I truly enjoy being of service. \n At Novant Health, I lead more than a dozen physicians in the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary group as well as the hepatobiliary multidisciplinary conference, which promotes best practices for treating patients who have liver, pancreas and bile duct disorders. I also serve on a committee that selects novel therapies to study through Novant Health Cancer Institute clinical trials. All of this, combined with my membership in the American Board of Surgery and the Americas Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association, keeps me connected to the latest treatments and research. \n I take a patient-centered, hands-on approach when caring for patients. You also will have access to the expertise of a team of other skilled and experienced providers who are well-versed in your medical history and will help manage your treatment. I am committed to developing techniques that help patients recover faster and see better outcomes. This can include minimally invasive laparoscopic and/or robotic surgery, as well as help with food choices, pain control and therapy before, during and after surgery. \n Communication, both to my patients and their loved ones, is important to me. I want my patients to be informed and empowered to make decisions about their care. \n In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling. I am married and have two children.
