Since 1991, Consultants in Gastroenterology has served patients throughout the Midlands. We provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art, patient-centered care in a compassionate and timely manner.
Each of our services includes patient education, clear communication, and emotional support to alleviate anxiety and optimize comfort. We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver.
Managing chronic gastrointestinal disorders along with cancer screening and prevention are the core of my practice. I completed additional training in advanced endoscopic therapies so I can provide the care my patients need. Gastroenterology is an evolving field and I will continue to learn and expand my knowledge and skills.

Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the US – and every four minutes, someone is diagnosed. Our state has a higher rate for those diagnosed with colon cancer than the national average. It is my life’s work to do something to change that.
