American College of Physicians, American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, American College of Gastroenterology Gastroenterology is unique in that it often challenges the physician with complex problems. It gives me great satisfaction to be able to treat diseases such as bleeding, polyps and bile duct stones using minimally invasive, non-surgical outpatient procedures.
Good medicine means being responsive to patient needs and concerns.
I explain information and answer any questions using plain, non-medical language. I also try to see each patient as promptly as possible. In general, I do my best to treat my patients in the way I would like to be treated. Since almost all colon cancers develop from polyps, removal of such lesions through a simple outpatient procedure can prevent one of the most common cancers in the country. My affiliation with UC Davis allows me to give my patients medical care that combines both clinical excellence and the resources of a major medical center.
