Summary

• Board certified in General Surgery and board certified in Colorectal Surgery, I have been in private practice since 2006. I am now in my new solo practice, Evansville Colorectal Surgery, located in Evansville, Indiana, started May 2023 and service the entire tri-state region of Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.
  
  Hailing from The Boogie Down Bronx borough in New York City. St. John's University of Alumnus class of 1996 in Jamaica, Queens, New York. Proud graduate of Ponce School of Medicine (Ponce Health Sciences University) in 2000.
  
  I completed my General Surgery training at Waterbury Hospital in Waterbury, Connecticut in 2005 and finished my Colorectal Surgery fellowship at Grant Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio in 2006.
  
  I have been working in the southeastern city of Evansville, Indiana since 2006 and started my career with Ohio Valley Colon and Rectal Surgeons. The transition from OVCRS to my current practice has been educational, rewarding, and unforgettable. My tenure with Evansville Colorectal Surgery is complete and I look forward continuing to provide the best service to this wonderful community and the surrounding areas. I work full time as an independent practitioner at Ascension St. Vincent Evansville Hospital, Ascension St. Vincent Surgicare, Deaconess Gateway Hospital, and Deaconess Midtown Hospital all located in Evansville and Newburgh, Indiana. I also provide services to Deaconess Henderson Hospital in Henderson, Kentucky, and Memorial Hospital in Jasper, Indiana.
  
  I work as an Associate Professor for the Indiana University School of Medicine Internal Medicine Residency Program, as a mentor for the IU medical students, and as clinical professor for the Deaconess Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program.
  
  My hobbies are my family, rocking out with my band, pretending to play guitar, running, fitness, snowboarding, travel, soccer, sneakers, and anything good that causes adrenaline to rush through my veins.
