Get to Know Me

I am a board-certified radiation oncologist. I specialize in treating people with cancer using very focused radiotherapeutic techniques. These include stereotactic radiosurgery, stereotactic body radiotherapy, image-guided radiation therapy, and intensity-modulated radiation therapy. 

I treat many different types of cancer, including lung cancer, metastatic cancer, spine cancer, sarcoma, soft tissue and bone cancers, brain cancer, lymphoma, breast cancer, and prostate cancer.

I see patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Monmouth in New Jersey.

Advancements are continually being made in radiation therapy options. This ongoing development allows significant progress in using data to deliver patient-tailored care. I run clinical trials that aim to decrease radiation therapy-related side effects and increase the effectiveness of cancer treatment. I also have significant experience working with cancer data sets on an institutional, multi-institutional, and national level. I have published studies in which I investigate cancer therapies, disparities in cancer care and outcomes, and prognostic factors associated with survival.

Cancer is a life-changing diagnosis. I understand the emotional toll it takes on patients and their loved ones. The fight against cancer requires a thorough understanding of the individual. I listen to my patients’ thoughts about their diagnosis and management and treatment options. At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, patients have access to clinical trials of cutting-edge therapies. I enroll eligible patients in these studies, and I am dedicated to improving the care and treatment of all people with cancer.
