Advocacy for frustrated patients attempting to find a solution to their problems with our current medical system.
I bring 37 years of knowledge and experience in all aspects of the various specialties of surgery. I was one of the first surgeons in North America to bring minimally invasive surgery to diseases of the esophagus and performed hundreds of laparoscopic anti-reflux procedures. I was active in teaching colleagues improved techniques of evaluating patients with advanced technology. I performed endoscopy and colonoscopy for 30 years while also taking call to emergency rooms for life threatening emergencies needing a gastroenterologist or a surgeon.
