About me
Having practiced medical oncology for over a decade, I’ve had a chance to see exciting breakthroughs and evolving therapeutics that help those affected by cancer live longer and better.
I practice general medical oncology and benign hematology. My area of additional expertise and interest is genitourinary malignancies—prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancers. Most of the therapies we use today in genitourinary cancers did not exist when I was a student, and I feel optimistic about what the next decade in breakthroughs will bring to the clinic.
I wake up each day excited that I get to be a part of a team at the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute that gets to do great things for the patients we care for. It truly is such an exciting time to be a physician and a privilege to be able to help our community.
