About
I find the field of gastroenterology very diverse with challenging yet fascinating disorders that patients present us with. During medical school training, I found this field encompassed diseases of multiple organs, including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestine, and colon to name a few. I realized by specializing in this field, I could help the most number of patients. The fact that I could not only treat patients with medication, but also procedures (such as the endoscopy) to fix problems was also enticing to me.
Do you have a specialty of interest within GI?
I truly like all aspects of GI. I love performing colonoscopies since this is the one preventative test that has been shown to save lives. I spent two years of research training in upper gastrointestinal motility disorders, and I developed an interest in swallowing and acid reflux disorders. I had an additional year of focused, subspecialty training in interventional/therapeutic endoscopy which deals with the management of complex intestinal, colonic, pancreatic of biliary diseases — both cancerous and non-cancerous.
Where did you study?
Medical School: Armed Forces Medical College, India
Residency: Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI
Gastroenterology and Hepatology Fellowship: Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI

What certifications do you hold?
I hold board certifications in Internal Medicine, Gastroenterology and Hepatology. I also hold a certification for advanced training in Therapeutic Endoscopy (ERCP/EUS).
What do you and your family enjoy doing in your spare time?
I have two boys, a daughter and a wife. We enjoy traveling together whenever time permits. We like skiing together as a family. I try to keep up with the Houston Rockets and Green Bay Packers.
