My practice comprises all aspects of colon and rectal surgery, along with anal surgery and pelvic floor dysfunction. My interests include minimally invasive surgery, colorectal cancer, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, reoperative surgery, fecal incontinence, and anorectal reconstruction. I also perform anal physiology studies such as anal ultrasound and anal manometry at Stony Brook’s GI Motility Center. I am actively involved in teaching of medical students, residents, and fellows, and in clinical research activities relating to colorectal diseases. My goal is to provide high-quality, up-to-date, and compassionate care to all my patients.
