This was followed with a tour as a general pediatrician at Robert E Bush Naval Hospital, 29 Palms, California. He returned to WRNMMC/NCC and completed a fellowship in Pediatric Gastroenterology. During this time he started to research the mechanical properties of the esophagus in eosinophilic esophagitis developing a new technique by which forces required for endoscopic biopsy can be measured.
