I have two major areas of focus:
(1) Endocrine tumors (Thyroid, Parathyroid, Adrenal, Neuroendocrine tumors)
Conventional thyroid, and parathyroid surgery and neck dissections are warranted and performed in the majoriy of these tumors. However, with current technology and advanced imaging more focal explorations can be performed with meticulous care to nerve identification and preservation. Novel robotic scarless techniques are performed to avoid neck incisions. Most of these cases are performed in an outpatient setting at our new DHK ambulatory surgical center with enhanced patient experience and new technology. In specific patients cases can be performed with mild sedation improving recovery and return to daily life.

The approach to these disease is patient and tumor specific and involves management with a multidisciplinary team of experts. Overall, I perform well over 200 endocrine cases yearly.

(2) Foregut Disorders (GERD, Achalasia, Gastric and complex GI disorders).
I have focused on minimally invasive approaches for the management of these disorders and has been involved in the development of techniques to minimize scars through single incision and robotic surgery.
