About
Bio
I treat a number of common gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux, Barrett’s esophagus, ulcer disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, viral hepatitis and many others. I also work with patients to evaluate and control symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases or problems, including abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, indigestion and swallowing difficulties.
In my free time I enjoy road biking, skiing, jogging, photography and spending time with my wife and son.
