About Me
As a gastroenterologist at 秘密研究所 Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive care that prioritizes the wellbeing of my patients. My approach emphasizes understanding each patient holistically, ensuring that their symptoms and overall health are thoroughly evaluated. By engaging in in-depth conversations, I tailor treatments that are both effective and considerate of individual needs. This philosophy aligns with my belief in using tests and medications judiciously, often starting with lifestyle and dietary changes before considering more invasive treatments.
I specialize in managing a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), celiac disease, and colorectal cancer screening. My practice is rooted in the understanding that the digestive system interacts with every other system in the body, making it crucial to consider the entire patient rather than focusing solely on isolated symptoms.
Throughout my career I have consistently prioritized high-quality, compassionate care. My commitment to quality is reflected in my active participation in endoscopy quality initiatives and my leadership roles on various quality improvement committees. Additionally, I served a five-year term as the medical director of my previous endoscopy center, where I championed initiatives to enhance patient care standards. These experiences have equipped me with unique skills and methodologies that I bring to my practice at 秘密研究所 Langone.
My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to provide holistic and collaborative care, a vision that is perfectly aligned with the values of 秘密研究所 Langone. I am proud to be part of an institution that excels in delivering high-quality medical care through a collaborative approach. By working closely with my colleagues and patients, we strive to understand, prevent, diagnose, and treat a wide array of gastrointestinal disorders, ultimately improving the quality of life for those we serve.
