Dr. Paul Koffer
Overview
I am a radiation oncologist specializing in genitourinary malignancies including prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancer. I have a special interest in using short course, high dose and precision radiotherapy known as Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for the treatment of cancers. I chose to be a radiation oncologist because I believe in the amazing ability of radiotherapy to not only treat cancer, but also to maintain and improve a patient's quality of life. I love to cook and eat delicious food and to spend time with my wonderful family.
