About Me

What I Do at MSK
  • Assistant Attending Physician
Get To Know Me

I am a medical oncologist who cares for people with genitourinary (GU) cancer. In particular, I specialize in the treatment of prostate cancer and testicular cancer (germ cell tumors).

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.

Much of my research focuses on better understanding how altered genes in cancer can influence response to treatment and how we can better tailor treatment to the individual patient. I have a strong interest in innovative clinical trials and the development of new treatments to improve cancer control and cure. A dedicated and understanding approach is always the basis of my patient care.

My Role at MSK

A genitourinary (jeh-nih-toh-YOOR-ih-nayr-ee) medical oncologist is a cancer doctor who specializes in genitourinary (GU) cancers. This includes bladder, kidney, penis, prostate, and testicular cancers.
