I see adult patients with general gastroenterology problems, such as heartburn, trouble swallowing, abdominal pain, change in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, colon cancer screening, inflammatory bowel disease, liver, and pancreas disorders. I value my patient’s input and want them to feel comfortable talking with me. I strive to create a partnership with my patients based on trust, comfort, safety, and empathy so that we can set goals to optimize their health and prevent complications. When I am not working, I love to spend time with my family and friends, try new recipes, read, garden, and exercise.

As a general gastroenterologist, I treat conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, such as heartburn/acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, colon polyps, difficulty swallowing, liver disease, pancreatitis, and other conditions. I strongly believe in preventative care and polyp screening for my patients and perform routine upper and lower endoscopy. I have a special interest in inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease. It is important to me to listen to and educate my patients on their conditions and how to work together to best improve their quality of life. When not working, my time is spent with my wife and two dogs. My interests include gardening, hiking, and supporting the UNC Tar Heels.

I grew up in Alamance County and feel privileged to provide gastroenterology care in my local community. I enjoy developing relationships with patients and their families and helping them improve their symptoms and quality of life. I treat various gastrointestinal conditions, including GERD and heartburn, abdominal pain, bowel issues, liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and many others. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my children and traveling to the North Carolina beach and mountains.

I treat a variety of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and liver. In my view, it is essential to listen to patients and engage in dialogue to understand their unique conditions and expectations regarding their care. I also endeavor to educate patients and employ effective therapies in order to achieve optimal results and provide an exceptional care experience.
