About Me

I am a radiation oncologist at MemorialHealthcare System, where I care for people with all types of cancers as well as certain benign conditions that can be treated with radiation therapy.

My father faced multiple medical challenges when I was growing up, and watching his experiences inspired me to become a doctor. During medical school, I completed an internship in radiation oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering and quickly realized it brought together everything I love about medicine. I enjoy building relationships with patients, designing treatment plans and performing procedures.

I know that starting radiation can feel frightening, so my approach is always gentle, patient and honest. I take time to explain what radiation is, how it works and what you might expect during treatment and recovery. My goal is to ease your fears, answer your questions and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

The most meaningful part of my work is the time I spend with patients. Forming those therapeutic relationships is incredibly rewarding. Being able to hold someone’s hand during treatment, truly listen and offer reassurance during a difficult moment is a privilege and one of the greatest satisfactions in my career.
