I am a board-certified radiation oncologist, having joined St. Luke’s in 2012. My practice encompasses all types of malignancies, with a specialization in head and neck cancer and breast cancer. As part of a multi-disciplinary group, I work with physicians in various specialties to provide seamless, thoughtful treatment, customized to the needs of each individual patient. My practice offers various radiation options, including image-guided intensity modulated radiation therapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy, radiosurgery, and intra-operative radiation therapy.
Radiation therapy is an initially frightening concept for many people. My number one priority is to make sure that each patient, in addition to any family and friends who may accompany them to the office, leaves our department fully understanding how the radiation works, how it can help treat their cancer, and how my staff and I will help them manage any side-effects that may be related to treatment. By providing this knowledge, I hope to alleviate any fears regarding radiation, and have each patient feeling comfortable, optimistic, and confident regarding their plan of care.
I earned my medical degree at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, completed an internship at George Washington University Hospital and residencies at both Indiana University Medical Center and The Mount Sinai Hospital.
Outside of working, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife and our three daughters. My hobbies include running, reading, and following the New York Yankees.
