Welcome to my website. Whether you have specifically searched for my practice or simply been directed here from your online research, I hope that you will find this website helpful. We are all individuals and we each live in a unique environment, don’t we? It can be very challenging in this era of exponentially available medical knowledge to find solutions to abdominal and digestive health problems that are relevant to you specifically.

This website continues to evolve, but it’s a good starting point on your journey to understand a bit more about me and how I might assist you.
