I am a specialist in both bariatric endoscopy and advanced/therapeutic endoscopy techniques. My areas of interest include endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), endoscopic revision of gastric bypass with transoral outlet reduction (TORe,) endoscopic revision of sleeve gastrectomy and intragastric balloon placements. I am also interested in management of complications post-bariatric surgery. Additionally, I perform advanced pancreaticobiliary procedures for a wide range of complex gastrointestinal disorders through the use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) as well as both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS).
