Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?
I choose to specialize in gastroenterology because of the ability to make a real difference in patients lives. The field is advancing rapidly and being able to offer new technology and treatments improves the care for our patients. Building strong relationships with patients and their families is the best part of the field.
