What I Do

In my role as a general surgeon, I take an individualized approach to care. It is important to build trust with patients by completing a thorough evaluation and providing options that best fit their goals.

I enjoy broad spectrum general surgery and have a special interest in hiatal hernia/reflux, hernia and bariatric surgeries.

Why I Love My Work

I chose a career in medicine to put my love of science to practical use. I specifically chose general surgery because I love human anatomy, the variety of the work and the unique challenges that come with it. It’s rewarding when a patient comes with a problem that I can fix with my hands and see the results firsthand.

Getting to Know Me

I grew up in Central Minnesota and went to St. John’s University. I am still a huge Johnnie fan and attend multiple football games with my family. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, trying new foods or restaurants, and spending time with my family.
