Clinical Interests
My many clinical interests include radiation treatment for lung cancers and brain tumors. I am experienced in the use of stereotactic radiosurgery and fractionated stereotactic radiation and intensity modulated radiation therapy.
Care Philosophy
I strive to provide patients with all the information they need to make an informed decision about their treatment.
