I am an American Board of Surgery credentialed General Surgeon operating at Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital and Grayslake Outpatient Center. My practice encompasses many general surgery issues with special interest in advanced laparoscopic and robotic techniques for hernia repair, bariatric surgery, and foregut diseases. In addition to my clinical experience, I have published a number of research studies covering topics such as the cost of recurrent ventral hernias, robotic training, surgical mesh fixation, and gastric fundoplication. My most recent book chapter contribution was to the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons textbook "The SAGES Manual of Flexible Endoscopy."
