Summary

  • I grew up in Princeton, NJ and attended Franklin & Marshall College where I obtained my bachelor’s degree in public health. I graduated with high honors from Ross University School of Medicine and went on to TriHealth Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio for general surgery residency. I completed a fellowship in advanced laparoscopy, minimally invasive and bariatric surgery at Summa Health in Akron, Ohio. There I further developed my skill set for both the medical and surgical management of obesity. I am a member of the American Society for Metabolic Surgery and am passionate about increasing access to care for the obese population. My other interests and specialties include gastroesophageal reflux disease management and anti-reflux surgery, bariatric endoscopy, minimally invasive hernia repair, gallbladder, and robotic surgery.
