I am a radiation oncologist specializing in cancers of the genitourinary tract and tumors that have spread to the spinal column. My practice focuses on the development and administration of radiation technologies to reduce toxicities and improve outcomes in the treatment of these tumors.

My areas of expertise include intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), brachytherapy, image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).*
