EnglishI believe in providing compassionate, thorough care and looking at the whole person rather. I strive to practice evidence-based medicine with attention to the latest guidelines. My practice of general gastroenterology covers a full range of gastrointestinal disorders, with a special interest in evaluation of liver disease, esophageal disorders and inflammatory bowel disease in addition to colon cancer screening and prevention.
I am board certified in gastroenterology and was awarded “Top Doctor” in Gastroenterology by Philadelphia Magazine in 2019. With over 23 years of experience in a busy suburban Philadelphia practice, I decided to join St. Luke’s in 2019 to provide GI care to a community that desperately needs it.
I was born and raised in Philadelphia and currently reside in Bucks County. I enjoy spending time with my family, especially mountain biking, hiking and big mountain skiing with my wife and our two grown children. I also enjoy exercising, traveling and cooking.
