Information for Patients

Description of My Practice

One of the reasons I chose to become a Gastroenterologist is because people appreciate a functioning GI system EVERY single day. People breathe, sleep, walk - all without thinking about it. But everyone appreciates it when they have a satisfying poop every day. That’s why I chose Gastroenterology – to give people that small but lasting happiness.

Practitioner Type

• Medical Doctor

From the practitioner: About My Practice

Through my work in Functional Medicine, I branched out beyond treating only GI complaints. I came to appreciate the impact of nutrition, environment, stress and trauma on the gastrointestinal system and the long-lasting impact on the rest of the body. It has been my great privilege to be able to help people heal, in both body and mind, with this approach.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

There’s a wide variety of conditions I can help you tackle. Most are gastro-related (I’m a board-certified gastroenterologist after all, not to mention the gut biome is in the driver’s seat for so much of our physiology) but my experience extends far beyond.

I can’t promise to cure you – sometimes that’s just not possible. But together we’ll explore where you’ve been… where you are today… and how together, we can get you feeling better.

And if whatever’s bothering you isn’t listed below that doesn’t mean I can’t help. Schedule a free exploratory conversation and we’ll see what’s what.
