About Me

Treatment Philosophy
I am a general thoracic surgeon specializing in minimally invasive approaches to diseases of the lung, esophagus and airway. My goal is to incorporate the latest technology in treating thoracic diseases, and to comprehensively counsel the patients, enabling them to make the best decision for themselves and their family.
