About me

  • Assistant Professor of Surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania

As a urologist at Penn Medicine, I am excited to continue the tradition of delivering world-class care that is accessible and personalized to each patient. My goal as your physician is to integrate the latest research and technology to provide you with excellent care.

I specialize in minimally invasive surgery and my research focus is on novel approaches to prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer and kidney stones. 

As a graduate from the Minimal Invasive Oncology/Endourology fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania, I am equipped to provide precision surgery or connect you with a Penn physician that specializes in your condition.

I strive to care for each patient like they are my own family member. I look forward to creating a strong relationship that will help guide you to health.
