Care Philosophy
I am interested in Genitourinary Cancers (Prostate, Bladder, Testicular and Kidney Cancers). We strive to provide patient-focused, personalized, multi-disciplinary care for genitourinary (GU) cancers. Our specialized providers in Medical Oncology (chemotherapy and targeted therapies), Urologic Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Pathology, Molecular Pathology, Radiology, Interventional Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, Nutrition, and Integrative Medicine work together to achieve the best outcomes for our patients. We have weekly GU cancer tumor boards, where our specialists come together to discuss patients and patient care.
