I specialize in critical care surgery and my areas of interest, include gastrointestinal fistula, hernias, traumatic injury, nutrition in surgical patients, short bowel syndrome and the critically ill and ventral hernia repair. I earned my medical degree from the University of Texas School of Medicine at San Antonio and completed my general surgery residency at the University of Florida College of Medicine, where I was recognized as the Distinguished Resident Dedicated to Teaching.
