My areas of clinical expertise include a wide range of bariatric procedures, colon resections for benign and malignant disease, hernia (ventral & inguinal), anti-reflux surgery including hiatal hernia & achalasia, and gallbladder surgery. In additional to "standard" laparoscopic surgery, I have extensive experience with single incision laparoscopic techniques.
