As an experienced Surgeon based in Riverside, my patients appreciate the warmth, professional integrity, and open communication that define my medical practice. I’m determined to help my patients understand their own health so they can be well informed when making important health decisions.
WHO I AM
Professional Services

Choosing a surgeon is one of the most important healthcare decisions you'll make. My goal is to provide every patient with expert surgical care, clear communication, shared decision making process, and personalized treatment from consultation through recovery.
I am a board-certified general surgeon with fellowship training in Hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB), foregut, robotic, and minimally invasive surgery. I specialize in treating complex diseases of the abdomen, including hernias, gallbladder disease, acid reflux, hiatal hernias, gastrointestinal cancers, liver and pancreatic disorders, abdominal wall reconstruction, and endocrine surgery.
My training includes medical school at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, general surgery residency at NYU Lutheran Medical Center in New York, and fellowship training in Advanced Gastrointestinal Surgery /HPB at Cleveland Clinic Florida. I currently serve as the Robotic Medical Director at Riverside Community Hospital, Assistant Program Director for the General Surgery Residency, and Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine.
I believe every patient deserves an individualized treatment plan. Whether a condition can be managed conservatively or requires the latest robotic surgical techniques, my focus is always on achieving the safest operation, the fastest recovery, and the best possible long-term outcome.
Outside of patient care, I remain actively involved in surgical education, research, and training the next generation of surgeons while continuing to incorporate the latest evidence-based techniques into my practice.
I look forward to partnering with you and your family to provide compassionate, state-of-the-art surgical care.
