Overview
The practice of urology involves trying to help patients with a variety of very personal issues that have a tremendous impact on quality of life. I enjoy seeing patients with a wide range of urologic problems, with a particular interest in bladder cancer and other urologic malignancies. In addition to the academic setting, I enjoy working in the VA system treating our nation's veterans. I have been involved in basic laboratory research and numerous clinical trials over the years with an interest in advancing urologic care beyond the currently available treatments. I have had an interest in global health for many years and enjoy international medical education and health care.

Duke Cancer Center Genitourinary (GU) Clinic
I am a urologic oncologist focused on the treatment of patients with genitourinary cancers. My areas of expertise include complex open and robotic surgeries of the retroperitoneum and pelvis. Some of the procedures I perform include the removal of kidney tumors, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, removal of the bladder and prostate, and urinary reconstruction. I utilize nerve-sparing techniques, extraperitoneal and minimally invasive approaches to surgery, and enhanced recovery strategies when possible to help patients quickly resume their regular life. When we first meet, it is important to review test results together and consider all the options on the table, which may or may not include surgery. Patients who understand their diagnosis and the pros and cons of different treatment approaches are best able to pick the treatment option that fits their needs and goals. We will work together to achieve the best outcome possible and make completing treatment as easy as possible.
