About Me

I then spent twelve years living, studying, and working in New York City. I received my medical degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. I stayed at Columbia to do my general surgery internship and urology residency at New York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia University Medical Center, followed by a three-year fellowship in urologic oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I have spent time working with radiation and medical oncologists, and favor a multi-disciplinary approach to treating cancer.
