About the Provider

I am a double board-certified surgeon in General Surgery and Obesity Medicine, with fellowship training in metabolic and bariatric surgery. My career has spanned over a decade, including more than six years in private practice in Chicago, where I developed extensive expertise in bariatric surgery, robotic surgery, minimally invasive techniques, general surgery, and advanced endoscopy. Currently, I serve as the Medical Director of a comprehensive medical weight management program in Augusta, Georgia. In this role, I lead a multidisciplinary team dedicated to providing state-of-the-art care for patients seeking both surgical and non-surgical solutions for obesity and its related conditions. My professional foundation includes advanced training at renowned institutions such as Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the University of South Florida, and Cook County Hospital. Additionally, my early career as an active-duty Navy Corpsman helped refine my leadership and interpersonal skills, which continue to enhance my patient care approach. As an active researcher, I have contributed extensively to the field of metabolic surgery through publications, presentations, and ongoing projects. My current research focuses on advancing surgical techniques and improving outcomes for patients undergoing bariatric procedures. I am licensed to practice in Georgia and Illinois.
