Gastroenterologist | Gastroenterology
25 North 14th Street Suite 620 San Jose California, 95112About
I provide comprehensive and personalized care in the field of digestive health and disorders. My passion is the pursuit of excellence and state of the art in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy. I have extensive experience in treating a wide spectrum of mucosal and functional GI diseases as well as biliary and pancreatic pathology. My reward is the ability to identify the root cause of many of the GI dysfunction and to provide relief to many of my patients with refractory symptoms. I enjoy performing EUS the most. The addition of this modality and wireless capsule endoscopy have tremendously expanded the frontier of GI diagnostics.The work on the human gut microbiota will revolutionize our therapeutic success.
