Get to Know Me

I am a radiation oncologist who specializes in proton therapy, photon therapy, and brachytherapy.

I treat patients for treating genitourinary cancers, including prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and testicular cancer. I also care for people with metastatic disease. I see patients at Memorial Hospital and also at the New York Proton Center in Manhattan.

Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, and I am committed to guiding patients through every step of their care. During consultations, I take the time to discuss the diagnosis and treatment options in detail, ensuring patients and their families feel informed and supported.

Proton radiation is an advanced and highly precise form of radiation therapy that targets tumors while sparing healthy tissue. This approach helps reduce side effects and may improve patients’ quality of life during and after treatment. Drawing on my expertise in radiation oncology, I work closely with a team of specialists to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
