Get to Know Me

I am a practicing radiation oncologist with a focus on clinical trials for genitourinary cancer, which includes prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and kidney cancer.

My goal is to use the latest imaging and radiotherapy technologies to improve treatment results for patients. I see patients at Memorial Hospital and the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at MSK.

Recent advancements in radiotherapy have improved our ability to precisely target tumors, so that treatments are now effective as well as minimally invasive. The use of real-time imaging and adaptive treatment planning also plays an important role in delivering personalized care. I believe that every person deserves a treatment plan tailored to their unique needs and situations. I emphasize precision and adaptability in radiation therapy. This approach not only enhances the treatment results but also reduces side effects, which improves the patient experience.

When patients first meet with me, they often express concerns about the safety and effectiveness of new treatment technologies. I take the time to thoroughly explain the procedures and benefits, making sure that they feel informed and confident in their treatment plan. My goal is to provide the latest care in a warm and supportive environment.

I also serve as the Director of the Genitourinary Program in the Department of Radiation Oncology. In this role, I oversee the development and use of the latest treatments and clinical trials so that our team is a leader in radiation therapy.
