Overview
I am a radiation oncologist, and I primarily focus on treating patients with cancer of the brain, lung, and spine. I find great satisfaction meeting with patients and working to provide the best care possible. During our visits, I enjoy getting to know patients and their families and learning about their hobbies, interests, and values. Working together, my goal is provide the tools and understanding so that they feel comfortable in making treatment decisions. I have the privilege of being a part of an excellent team of doctors, nurses, therapists, and treatment planners, who all work to design and carry out a personalized treatment plan for each patient. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

Duke Cancer Center
I'm a radiation oncologist, and I specialize in treating brain, base of skull and spine tumors, as well as tumors that arise in the body but go to the brain or the spine, as in certain cases of lung, breast and kidney cancer and melanoma. When I meet with a patient, it’s important for me to introduce them and their family to our team of doctors, therapists, nurses and treatment planners. The patient and their family will also become members of this team – truly the most important part - so we can work together to tailor care based on their wants and needs. At Duke, we’ve developed techniques to precisely and accurately treat small, complex lesions and tumors. We can minimize the amount of radiation that goes into normal tissues and at the same time maximize the amount of radiation where it is needed. Our team is geared to delivering every treatment to each patient exactly as planned, especially in complicated and difficult situations. As a patient or a physician, I think there’s no better place to be than Duke. I love my work, feel honored that my patients place their trust in our team and me and work hard to earn that trust.

Above all, I value relationships with family and friends. I have seen the devastation that brain tumors cause to ruin these vital relationships. Therefore, I strive to eradicate brain tumors with the best patient care I can and hard work in the laboratory. It is my hope that we will effectively fight brain tumors and preserve relationships.
