St. Luke's Center
Leading the Lung Cancer Multidisciplinary Team, I provide the program the full breadth of thoracic oncologic surgical care. I present/teach nationally and internationally on the topic of minimally invasive thoracic surgery and have published widely on this subject. My research interests include minimally invasive thoracic surgery, lung cancer screening, sputum tests for lung cancer, and thoracic surgery databases. I also serve as a member of several task forces within the Society of Thoracic Surgeons including the General Thoracic Database Committee, the Taskforce for Quality Improvement, the Access and Publications Commmittee, and the Public Reporting Committee. In addition to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, I am a member of the Southern Thoracic Surgical Society, the Eastern Cardiothoracic Surgical Society, and the General Thoracic Surgery Club. I am also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons as well as the American College of Chest Physicians. I am board certified by both the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Thoracic Surgery.
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions from our nationally recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of St. Luke’s University Health Network.
