Experience and background

I take a special interest in helping individuals with inflammatory bowel disease, reflux, esophagitis, aerodigestive disorders, unsedated transnasal endoscopy, failure to thrive, and children that need endoscopic procedures performed. My work in bioethics tries to improve the interaction and dialogue between doctors and their families so that the alliance between them is stronger.
