About Me

I enjoy working with my hands and establishing personal, caring relationships with my patients. As the Director of Advanced Endoscopy at Duke, I treat patients with benign and cancerous conditions of the bile duct and pancreas. I specialize in endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasound and the removal of large, complex colon polyps. I also provide luminal stenting for patients with blockages of the esophagus, small intestine, stomach and rectum. I enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of performing these procedures. However, the most gratifying parts of my work are interacting with patients, relating to them on a personal level and providing compassionate care.

Clinical Focus and Research

My Research Interests

I conduct clinical research on diseases of the pancreas and biliary system. This research generally focuses on advanced endoscopic procedures, including endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), used to diagnose and treat these disorders. I am also interested in the development of new endoscopic techniques to advance the way we treat these conditions.
