I am a board-certified urologist with advanced training in minimally invasive kidney stone surgery. My clinical focus is on the surgical treatment, medical evaluation, and prevention of kidney stone disease.

Kidney stones are often an acute, painful, and anxiety-provoking condition. This is why I have worked with my clinical team to structure our practice around managing these unique concerns. When pain arises, our staff is here to answer your questions and help facilitate your treatment.

We believe that care is best delivered as a partnership between physician and patient (and family). Every partnership is unique and requires an individualized treatment plan, which we develop in concert with you.

I am privileged to care for you as part of the larger Penn Medicine team. I work closely with the nephrologists in the Kidney Stone Evaluation Center to co-manage some of the most complex kidney stone patients in the region. As a leading research institution, Penn Medicine also supports my work to investigate the causes of kidney stone formation, research advanced imaging to diagnose and treat kidney stones, and evaluate how to improve the quality of life of patients with kidney stone disease.

I look forward to helping you navigate your kidney stone treatment and prevention.
