Following training, he went into private practice in Princeton, N.J. with one of the "fathers of bariatric surgery" until he accepted a faculty position with The University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tennessee to pursue an academic career in Minimally Invasive Surgery in August 2004. While there he served as Associate Professor of Surgery, Chief of Minimally Invasive Surgery, Co-Director of the Weight Management Center at Methodist University Hospital, Co-Medical Director of Bariatric Surgery at the Regional Medical Center, Director of the Minimally Invasive Surgery Fellowship at UT, and a member of the Board of Directors for UT Medical Group.
