Biography

I am a thoracic surgeon who treats both malignant and benign disease of the chest and foregut. I earned my medical degree and masters in Health Sciences from the Yale School of Medicine. I then completed my General Surgery training at the Massachusetts General Hospital and returned to Yale for fellowship training in Cardiothoracic Surgery. I have a deep research interest in improving health services delivery and in surgical palliative care which has been supported by nationally competitive funding. I am board-certified in General Surgery and board-eligible in cardiothoracic surgery. My clinical interests involve treatment of lung and esophageal cancer, mediastinal masses including thymoma, and benign foregut surgery including repair of hiatal hernias. I believes in a patient-focused approach and is committed to ensuring that patients are heard and respected. I provide treatment that is tailored to each individual and utilizes advanced techniques including robotic-assisted surgery to ensure the best outcomes possible.
