I diagnose and manage luminal gastrointestinal disorders, and perform upper endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures. I have special clinical and academic interests in disorders of the esophagus, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and esophageal motor disorders, such as achalasia. I am passionate about clinical care, education and mentorship, guideline development, advocacy, and esophageal clinical investigation.
My academic and clinical interests focus on the Esophagus, particularly esophageal diagnostic evaluation. I have authored over 50 peer-reviewed manuscripts, including first-author and senior-author publications. I actively contribute to the gastroenterology community through medical education, clinical guideline development, and advocacy.
