Biography

I am a gastroenterologist who seeks to use both science and clinical practice to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of digestive malignancies. My clinical practice is focused on the use of advanced endoscopic imaging procedures (such as endoscopic ultrasound, chromoendoscopy, and confocal endomicroscopy) to improve cancer detection, and therapeutic endoscopic procedures to remove or destroy cancer and precancerous lesions.

My research is aimed at improving digestive cancer outcomes and reducing cancer disparities through data science, cohort building, and biomarker development. My research is currently supported by an NIH Mentored Career Development Award (K08CA252635). I have formal pre-doctoral (NIH-Clinical Research Training Program) and post-doctoral (T32DK007056) training in epidemiology and clinical research.

My favorite Dr at Stanford. Altho he is very busy, he always took time with me to be very human and warm. He also was straightforward with information that other doctors might be uncomfortable to share which I need and respect him for. He gets many gold stars from me, and I feel lucky that I got him as my doctor. What a peach!

I consider Dr Huang an excellent doctor. He explained everything in a very clear and concise manner so that I understood. I appreciated his comment at the end where he opened it up for any questions I might have. I also appreciated that he did not make me feel as though we had a specific amount of time so I did not feel as if I had a limited amount of time.
