“The path to transplantation is a journey that we are on together. Our team is here to guide, support and prepare you so you can return to your family, your life and your future with confidence. We do not negotiate when it comes to achieving the best outcomes for our patients and their families.”
I am a transplant surgeon specializing in liver transplantation, living donation, liver cancer and hepatobiliary cancer.
Growing up in a family of physicians, I felt an early calling to a profession built on service, healing and human connection. That foundation led me to transplant surgery.
Philosophy of Care
I believe medicine is an interconnected science. In today’s world, we have advanced diagnostics, treatments and technologies, yet the core responsibility remains the same: to steward the health of every patient who places their trust in us.
Health stewardship is not optional — it is our professional obligation. I take full ownership of each patient’s care, ensuring that decisions are thoughtful, evidence-based and centered on long-term wellness.
Favorite Parts of Medicine
  • Caring for and operating on complex patients and witnessing their transformation as they recover
  • Playing a role in extending both the longevity and quality of life for individuals facing serious liver disease
  • Taking pride in growing every day toward becoming one of the best in my field
Hobbies
Outside of my surgical practice, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my wife and child. Music is a lifelong passion, and I collect a variety of musical instruments while teaching myself piano. I also love gardening and lawn care — watching saplings grow and thrive brings me profound joy.
