A certified thoracic surgeon and bronchologist, Associate Professor of Surgery, and senior attending physician at the university hospital Thoracic Surgery Center. He completed specialized clinical fellowship training at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London and maintains active memberships in major European thoracic and respiratory societies. His clinical and academic focus centers on early lung cancer detection biomarkers, video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), single-port procedures, complex chest wall reconstructions, and interventional bronchology. In his practice, he applies an individualized approach to every patient, thoroughly evaluating symptoms, root causes, and complaint characteristics to establish an accurate diagnosis and select the optimal treatment strategy.

The thoracic surgeon and bronchologist provides consultations on:

• Diagnostic workups and management of pulmonary and thoracic cavity tumors or benign conditions
• Clinical indications for minimally invasive (VATS), single-port endoscopic, and chest wall reconstructive procedures

• Interventional bronchology options, including tracheal/bronchial stent placements and endobronchial therapy
