Additional Information

I am a Board Certified Pediatric General and Thoracic Surgeon currently practicing in South Florida. Although I am Board Certified in Adult General Surgery as well, I have devoted my practice almost exclusively to Pediatric Surgery since completing my training 10 years ago, first in Akron, Ohio and now in Palm Beach County Florida. Approximately 50% of my practice is emergency procedures and 50% outpatient or scheduled surgeries. I currently practice in all areas of Pediatric Surgery of the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis, including Neonatal and Congenital Disorders, Pediatric Tumors and Malignancies, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Thyroid Disorders, Pectus Deformities, Splenic Disease, Testicular and Ovarian Torsions and Masses and Colorectal Disorders. I continue to remain involved in academic medicine and currently hold the title of Clinical Affiliate Associate Professor at FAU Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine
