    My clinical specialty is interventional pulmonology, with a focus on complex airway and pleural disorders. I care for patients with lung nodules and obtain diagnoses through minimally invasive bronchoscopic biopsies, including robotic bronchoscopy. Additionally, I offer therapeutic interventions for patients with advanced thoracic malignancies as well as benign diseases, such as COPD, asthma, post-lung transplant conditions, and airway stenoses. I also assess and treat patients with pleural disease, including pleural effusions.
