Get to Know Me

I am a medical oncologist who specializes in caring for people with advanced kidney cancer. I also provide clinical counseling and genetic testing for people who may have an inherited predisposition to genitourinary cancers, such as kidney and prostate cancers, and other cancers.

This provider is part of a team that was ranked #1 in the nation for Urology Cancer Care this year by U.S. News & World Report.

My research aims to understand, prevent, and treat these inherited cancers.

When I meet with patients, they are often concerned about what treatments are available to treat their disease. At Memorial Sloan Kettering, we are able to offer people not only standard therapies, but also innovative clinical trials. I work closely with a team of experts from many different areas to ensure all my patients receive the best and most effective treatments for their cancer.

What I Do at MSK

I'm a genitourinary (GU) medical oncologist, which is a cancer doctor who specializes in genitourinary (jeh-nih-toh-YOOR-ih-nayr-ee) cancers. This includes bladder, kidney, penis, prostate, and testicular cancers.

I'm a clinical geneticist, which is a scientist with special training in diagnosing and treating genetic problems. We can help explain your risk of getting a genetic condition that's passed on from parents to children.
