Since childhood, I aspired to be a surgeon like my father. I was fortunate enough to witness the hope and help he offered people that inspired my journey to accomplish the same as a transplant surgeon. As director of the UF Health Adult Kidney and Pancreas Program and an associate professor in the division of transplantation and hepatobiliary surgery, my goal is to perform quality transplants. For us, every transplant operation is a rewarding experience to ignite hope for our patients by improving their longevity and quality of life. I perform kidney and multiorgan transplants. Additionally, I am a member of the organ procurement team and perform multiple organ operations.
