- Additional
- My primary clinical focus is in General Thoracic and ECMO. This includes specific disease processes of the trachea, lungs, esophagus, chest wall and heart. I have a particular interest in using the Da Vinci Robotic platform to approach these disease processes. My research interests include the above described clinical entities with a focus on outcomes analysis and database research. I am excited to be working in an academic environment where I can continue to pursue my interests in research, while mentoring fellows, residents and students.
