Get to Know Me

I am a radiation oncologist who has special training in using the latest radiation therapy techniques to treat breast cancer and head and neck cancer. These techniques include image-guided radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and stereotactic body radiotherapy.

I see patients at Memorial Hospital, MSK’s main hospital in New York City, and at Memorial Sloan Kettering Monmouth in New Jersey.

My goal is to use advanced technology to improve treatment results for patients while reducing treatment side effects. At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, using innovative technology and extensive resources allows me to provide each of my patients with the highest standard of care.

I'm a radiation oncologist, which is a cancer doctor with special training in using radiation therapy (RT) to treat cancer.
