I am also the Chief of the Division of Research for the Department of Surgery and have a NIH funded laboratory studying metabolic changes after bariatric surgery which improve health. For the ASMBS, I serve on the Board of Directors as a voting member and board liason to the Quality Improvment and Patient Safety Committee. I perform both primary and complex, revisional bariatric surgery and am surgeon champion for the adolescent bariatric surgery program. I strive to provide my patients with excellent surgical results and outcomes but above all to have the patient and family feel safe, respected, and educated throughout the surgical process.
