What This Is
You don’t need another vague opinion. You need a clear, actionable clinical plan.
I provide high-acuity, evidence-based hepatology care for:
Decompensated cirrhosis (ascites, encephalopathy, bleeding)
Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF)
Complex hepatitis B/C with fibrosis
Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI)
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) — transplant candidacy
Post-transplant complications
1. IPD Expert Management
For acute decompensation or recurrent admissions:
Inpatient liver failure protocols
MELD-Na optimization
Variceal bleeding, ascites, encephalopathy management
Transplant coordination when indicated
2. Structured Second Opinions
For patients who are:
Advised transplant but unsure
Worsening on current treatment
Confused by conflicting reports
How it works:
Upload: imaging (MRI/CT), labs (last 3), biopsy, prior notes
I review within 72 hours
You receive a written clinical directive with:
Diagnosis clarification
Treatment options (medical vs. transplant)
Next-step timeline
Not a casual chat. A decisive clinical direction.
