We post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

Radiation Oncology - Johns Hopkins University
I am a radiation oncologist who cares for people with head and neck cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, and cancer involving the brain and spine. I provide compassionate, personalized, and excellent care for my patients and am proud to be a part of the teams at MSK Bergen, in New Jersey, and MSK’s Manhattan location. I use intensity-modulated radiation therapy, image-guided radiation therapy, and stereotactic radiosurgery. These techniques allow me to deliver safe and effective treatment to all of my patients.

A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming and frightening. It is my goal to reassure each patient that we will support them and work with them to develop a personalized care plan. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team of experts in medical oncology, surgery, radiology, and pathology. Together, we ensure that we give the highest level of care for each patient. I am also proud to provide patients with access to the innovative and cutting-edge clinical trials that are offered through Memorial Sloan Kettering.
During initial consultation and subsequent visits with patients, I prioritize understanding each person’s values and goals. I work to ensure that all of my patients understand why we recommend a certain treatment and what to expect during and after radiotherapy. I want each of my patients to feel empowered and confident in their treatment decision. I love being able to provide hope and guidance for my patients and my favorite part of being a radiation oncologist is the wonderful patient-doctor bond that develops. Whether in New York or New Jersey, it is an absolute privilege to offer outstanding cancer care to our local community.
