Overview

I am a medical oncologist specializing in genitourinary cancers, including prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancer. I primarily see patients at Duke Cancer Centers in Cary and Raleigh, where I focus on providing comprehensive, patient-centered care. Growing up in eastern North Carolina and having lived most of my adult life in the Triangle area, I am deeply connected to the North Carolina community. My approach centers on treating each patient with a focus on their needs and a positive outlook, emphasizing both effective treatment and maintaining a high quality of life. I prioritize having access to the most updated treatment options, enrolling patients in clinical trials, and ensuring they have a strong understanding of their diagnosis and management options. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and attending sporting events with my wife and our two little boys.
