About me

I am a cancer surgeon who treats patients with urological cancers (cancers of the genital and urinary tract). My clinical focus includes:

I offer my patients a variety of treatments including:

  • Minimally invasive surgeries, such as robot-assisted laparoscopic surgeries
  • Open surgeries
  • Nerve-sparing procedures for prostatectomy (removal of part or all of the prostate), cystectomy (removal of part or all of the bladder) and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (removal of lymph nodes from the space behind the lining of the abdomen)
  • Urinary diversion and reconstruction

I am a board-certified urology oncologist (cancer doctor). My research focuses on improving outcomes for patients.

I approach my patients as though they are members of my own family. We talk about what the journey from cancer diagnosis to cure would look like and how best to get through it. I want my patients to know that when they select me as their surgeon and oncologist, they have me for life, even after treatment or cure. If they have issues, I’m available to help them 24/7.

Outside of work, I enjoy running, swimming, hiking, reading nonfiction books and spending time with friends.

  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
