Specialty Information

Specialties
  • Radiation Oncology
Conditions & Treatments
  • Cancers - Radiation Therapy
  • Cancers
Clinical Interests
I have a particular interest in gastrointestinal, breast, prostate, and gynecologic malignancies. My specialization includes the most advanced treatment techniques including high dose rate brachytherapy, prostate procedures, stereotactic body radiotherapy, and gamma knife.

Care Philosophy
I value being a member of a multidisciplinary team of cancer physicians that individualize the best treatment option for each patient, while then executing care using the most up-to-date technology. I treat each patient with respect and work with them to define a treatment approach that best aligns with their goals and values. My mission is to eradicate tumors while helping patients maintain their lifestyle during and following treatment.
