Overview
I am a urologic surgeon with fellowship training in urologic oncology, specializing in cancers of the urinary tract and male reproductive organs. My focus is on delivering personalized care using advanced surgical techniques, including robotic and minimally invasive procedures, to optimize recovery and outcomes. Whether treating prostate, kidney, or bladder cancer, I aim to preserve function while providing effective treatment. I emphasize clear communication to ensure patients understand their diagnosis and are involved in their care. I also engage in ongoing research to explore innovative therapies in urologic oncology.
