Summary
- I have dedicated my career to parathyroid disease/surgery since 2006, performing more parathyroid operations in the last 10 years than any surgeon worldwide. I have had the privilege of operating on patients from all 50 states and multiple continents in performing over 8,000 parathyroidectomies. Having seen the most complex and most straightforward cases this field can present, my goal is to offer my expertise as a resource to all colleagues and their patients, regardless of location. Colleagues in endocrinology, medicine, nephrology, and surgery can count on my respect, professionalism, and dedication to advancing the worldwide understanding of this disease.
