Summary
- With over a decade of experience as a pediatric gastroenterologist, I am currently the Division Chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Professor of Pediatrics at MUSC Children's Health, where I lead a team of dedicated and compassionate professionals who provide high-quality care to children with digestive disorders.
I am a board-certified pediatric gastroenterologist and a certified healthcare financial professional, with expertise in clinical research, healthcare management, and patient experience. My mission is to advance the field of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition through innovation, education, and collaboration. I have contributed to multiple publications and studies on eosinophilic esophagitis, a rare and chronic condition that affects the esophagus. I have also chaired the Pediatric Patient Experience Committee, where I implemented strategies to improve patient satisfaction and outcomes.
