He performs minimally invasive surgeries and integrates new technologies to improve patient outcomes. With extensive experience treating lung cancers and other thoracic conditions, he also teaches thoracic surgery at Yale University, mentoring the next generation of surgeons.

His medical journey began at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, followed by a General Surgery Internship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and a Residency at Fletcher Allen Healthcare. He later completed a Cardiothoracic Fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, earning recognition from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

“For many of my patients, this is their first experience with a life-threatening illness and their first experience navigating through a hospital system.”

Recognizing the importance of patient education, he ensures individuals and their families fully understand their treatment options—both surgical and nonsurgical. One of the most rewarding aspects of his work, he says, is “seeing them outside of the office—maybe at the mall—and they are doing well, getting back to their lives.”

His expertise extends beyond the operating room, with numerous publications in medical journals covering lung cancer, surgical techniques and advancements in thoracic surgery.
