Care Philosophy
I believe the key to successfully treating and curing cancer is a comprehensive patient-centered approach to medical care that incorporates the latest scientific advances, access to cutting-edge clinical trials, and a multidisciplinary team to offer patients the highest-quality care available. Equally important is understanding what each patient hopes to achieve through their treatment, and ensuring that their values and goals are respected throughout the process.
Specializing In
I specialize in the non-surgical treatment of genitourinary cancers (including prostate, bladder, kidney, testicular, and penile) through the use of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiopharmaceuticals, and targeted/molecular treatments.
Interests & Activities
I enjoy spending time outdoors with my wife, two young daughters, and dogs. I also enjoy cooking/baking, as well as reading on history (ancient mostly).
