Get to Know Me

As a medical oncologist on the Genitourinary (GU) Oncology Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), I care for people with bladder, prostate, kidney, and testicular cancer (germ-cell tumors) on the inpatient service at Memorial Hospital. I place a strong emphasis on listening closely to each patient’s concerns, explaining complex options in plain language, and partnering with a multidisciplinary team to craft treatment plans that align with individual goals and circumstances.

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.

In the laboratory, I use computer-based tools to determine how certain types of GU cancers work at the molecular level. I study detailed data from individual cells and tissue samples to better understand what causes these cancers and how they behave. My ultimate goal is to use this knowledge to help develop new treatments that lead to better results for people diagnosed with GU cancer.

Outside the clinic and lab, I enjoy distance running, experimenting in the kitchen, and spending time with my wife and children.

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.
