Get to Know Me

I am a medical oncologist who cares for people with gastrointestinal cancers.

I work very closely with a multidisciplinary team of experts at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). This includes surgeons, medical oncologists, pathologists, and radiation oncologists. Together, we deliver the best possible care for our patients and their families.

I strive to develop a close, trusting relationship with each patient and their family. I provide my patients with compassionate, personalized care that incorporates the most recent medical advances.

I am a co-investigator on clinical trials that incorporate novel immune-based and targeted therapies. I work with the gastrointestinal clinical trials team to deliver innovative treatments when appropriate. 

Receiving a cancer diagnosis and undergoing treatment often pose physical and mental challenges. Our team at MSK recognizes this difficult journey. We are here not only to treat the disease but to address all of our patients’ multifaceted needs.

What I Do at MSK

I'm a gastrointestinal (GAS-troh-in-TES-tih-nul) medical oncologist, which is a cancer doctor who specializes in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. This includes anal, colorectal, esophageal, gastric (stomach), liver, and pancreatic cancers. We also treat GI stromal tumors and neuroendocrine tumors.
