About Me

I am a nationally recognized urologic oncologist whose services include patient- and family-centered care for urologic cancer. I became interested in urology when my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer during my second year of medical school. I’m dedicated to providing state-of-the-art bladder cancer care, working with multidisciplinary teams and innovative care models while providing compassionate, goal-aligned surgical bladder cancer care.

My specialty is cancer and aging, and my research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and the American Cancer Society. I’ve won honors for patient experience, and I serve on the American Urological Association’s Research Council.  In my free time, I enjoy hiking, birdwatching, knitting, and cooking.
