Summary
- I am a fellowship-trained endocrine surgeon, which means I specialize in surgery of thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal tumors. I also perform radiofrequency ablation for thyroid tumors along with ultrasound guided thyroid biopsy. My personal research focuses on endocrine tumors, secondary malignancies, thyroid ultrasound, adolescent and young adult thyroid cancer, and cancer survivorship. I serve on committees for the American Associations of Endocrine Surgeons, the American Thyroid Association, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology, the Society for Surgical Oncology, and the Children’s Oncology Group.
