My career as an accomplished bariatric, laparoscopic, and robotic surgeon is the culmination of my lifelong commitment to continuous learning. Naturally inquisitive, I have been an avid reader since childhood and have always been relentless in my pursuit of answers to confounding problems. This curiosity has been a driving force in my life and has enabled me to approach my patients with empathy, look at health problems holistically, and think critically.I presently serve as director of bariatric medicine and as a general and bariatric surgeon with Community Physicians Network, an integrated healthcare system serving the Indianapolis area. I am deeply committed to driving medical innovation, delivering quality patient care, and improving community health outcomes. As one of the principals of the practice, I have broad experience in all aspects of running a business. This rare combination of clinical, interpersonal, and strategic skills shapes my approach to my business and my client interactions. Whether I am directing a surgical team, championing my patients' success, or supporting the growth of the practice, I always comport myself with a clear mind, a focus on the ultimate goal, and compassion. I am eager to share my experience, knowledge, and unique perspectives in a meaningful and impactful way.
