Pay Bill

Gastroenterology is a specialty I was originally drawn to in my pre-teens.  At the time, my aunt was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer and I saw a need for educating individuals on the need for timely screening in order to prevent colon cancer development and the tragic consequences of the disease.  As a medical student, I enjoyed learning about the GI tract, the importance of each organ, and the pathophysiology of GI conditions.  In the clinical setting, I loved the unique ability in the specialty to be able to establish a relationship/rapport with my patients in the office setting and then having the ability to perform endoscopic procedures in order to guide diagnosis, prevent disease, and therapeutically address conditions in a swift manner.  

I enjoy taking care of a wide array of gastrointestinal symptoms and diseases.  My clinical interests include general gastroenterology, hepatology, inflammatory bowel disease, motility, and women’s gastrointestinal health.

As a resident I was the recipient of the Department of Medicine Charles Uribe Award.  I did a visiting externship at Leiden Medical Center in the Netherlands to learn about personalized Inflammatory Bowel Disease care.  I received a grant as a fellow from the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility society to obtain additional training in gastrointestinal motility at Temple University Medical Center.  

I am a foodie, nature enthusiast, and enjoy exercising regularly, traveling, and learning about other cultures.
