About Me
I am a fellowship-trained urologist specializing in minimally invasive surgery for both cancerous and benign urologic conditions. At Memorial Healthcare System, I care for patients with adrenal, kidney, bladder, prostate, testicular, and penile cancers, as well as those with complex kidney stones, enlarged prostates, and male urinary dysfunction. I focus on using advanced laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery to not only support faster recovery, but also to bring the latest, refined techniques to my patients.
My approach to care is rooted in two key principles: (1) personalized, collaborative decision-making with patients and (2) integration of cutting-edge, evidence-based treatments into clinical practice. My approach to care is highly personalized. I work closely with each patient to tailor a treatment plan that aligns with their individual health goals and lifestyle. I believe in empowering patients through education and support, so they feel confident and actively involved in every step of their care journey. When it comes to cancer, I collaborate closely with medical and radiation oncologists to offer patients the most advanced and comprehensive cancer treatment options available.
What drew me to urology is its unique balance of surgical innovation and meaningful, hands-on patient care. I enjoy the technical precision of minimally invasive surgery and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on quality of life. I also value the diversity of the field, which allows me to care for patients of all ages with a wide range of conditions.
In addition to my clinical practice, I’m involved in research aimed at improving prostate cancer detection and surgical outcomes following prostatectomy. I’m passionate about staying at the forefront of urologic advancements and bringing the latest evidence-based treatments to my patients.
I look forward to taking care of you and your family during your time with us at Memorial Healthcare System.
