Treatment Philosophy
I joined Fox Chase Cancer Center as staff gastroenterologist in 2016. My goal is to provide comprehensive and compassionate care for a broad spectrum of benign and malignant digestive conditions for every patient. I apply cutting-edge medical knowledge and technology with a focus on personalized patient care. I work closely together with my colleagues in surgical, medical and radiation oncology to make the best treatment decision for each patient.
My treatment spectrum includes preventive medical care, treatment of bleeding, removal of precancerous and early cancerous lesions, placement of stents, detailed endoscopic ultrasound examination of the pancreas, bile duct, and virtually any anatomical structure in the vicinity of the upper and lower intestinal tract, amongst others.
Another cornerstone is communication with patients and referring physicians. I try to educate patients to allow them to make the best decision for themselves, in concert with my recommended treatment plan.

Being defeated is a matter of perspective and will. I feel that no matter how serious the illness is, I can overcome it with the right help and the right attitude.

I am 78 years old and have owned horses for 68 of those years. I am a cowboy through and through. My father gave me my first pony when I was just five years old and my first horse when I was 10. I have had hundreds of horses since. I also used to train the ponies down at the race track.

I prefer to limit use of anesthesia & sedation and this physician provides thorough, thoughtful, skillful care and numerous procedures over the last 6+ months without anesthesia or sedation. Professional, confident, direct. I am so confident in his skill & support staff that I travel 4 hours round trip to access this care at FCCC.
