About Me

Chief, Division of Urology and Uro-Oncology Program, Memorial Healthcare System

I am the chief of the division of urology and the physician leader of the urologic oncology program at Memorial Healthcare System. I care for patients with all sorts of urologic issues but specialize in the care of patients with urologic malignancies including prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, testis cancer and penile cancer. When patients require urologic surgery, I am able to do most surgeries with the assistance of a robotic platform that allows me to preserve as much of the healthy organ as possible while removing the entire cancer with faster recovery times, less blood loss and shorter hospital stays.   

At Memorial, I work closely with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, geneticist and other medical specialists to create and execute personalized treatment plans for patients. This individualized approach to care, as well as our dedication to patient engagement and superior outcomes, ensures we are delivering the most comprehensive care.

In addition to providing excellent patient care, I am proud to consider myself a leader in my field helping to educate others through my leadership in our local, regional and national organizations as well as my academic publications aimed at pushing the field forward. I’m very involved in national urology associations and write extensively about urologic oncology. I have published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and am a reviewer and editor for several urologic publications.

We also work with Memorial Cancer Institute to open and enroll our patients in clinical trials. These trials allow many of our patients access to treatment and therapies that are not yet available to the public.

Before joining Memorial, I served as associate professor of urology and chief of section urologic oncology at Tulane University School of Medicine, and chief of urology and robotics at Southeast Louisiana Veterans Heath Care System in New Orleans. I have complete extensive oncologic fellowship training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York where I was also junior faculty.
