Gender: Male
Biography: I am section chief of Interventional Pulmonary and Co-director of Lung Cancer Screening Program. I have completed Pulmonary Critical Care fellowship at UMMC and Interventional Pulmonary fellowship at Yale University. I specialize in advanced minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic techniques related to lung cancer and benign airway diseases. My active research work focus on advances in therapeutic bronchoscopy for central airway obstruction and analysis of the response of upper airway mucosa to respiratory viruses.
My Approach to Healthcare
My goal is to provide individualized approach to patients condition. Listening to patient history is as important for me as using state of the art endoscopic technology in our endoscopy suite. I respect patients' autonomy and diagnostic/therapeutic approaches are always result of the discussion between patient and our team.
