Good health is the foundation of a full life. When someone is unwell, it takes them away from the people, activities, and independence that give their life meaning. I went into medicine because I wanted to restore people’s ability to truly live.

As a pulmonologist, I am particularly drawn to interstitial lung disease, a complex disease that requires a thoughtful, methodical, and personalized diagnostic and treatment approach. I am also very passionate about prevention and early detection of lung cancer through risk factor identification, screenings, advanced diagnostics (including robotic bronchoscopy), and smoking cessation. Early diagnosis can mean the difference between a treatable condition and a devastating one — and as someone who lost his father to lung cancer, that distinction matters deeply to me.

My approach to care is patient-centered. I take time to listen, to explain, and to make sure no one leaves my office feeling unheard or unsupported. Every conversation, every decision, every plan of care is focused on what’s best for you — not just based on the medical diagnosis, but also on your unique needs, goals, and perspectives.
