Philosophy of care | Personalized care starts during my first meeting with a patient and family. That's when I get to know the patient as completely as possible.

Together we review your diagnostic information and give you a written opinion reflecting the scope of your condition and recommendations for your best course of care. | Why I entered medicine | When I was young, I didn't like seeing doctors. It created a lot of anxiety for me. Now that I'm older, I can relate to the way people feel, especially when they're coping with the emotions caused by a serious condition like cancer. My grandmother died of uterine cancer in the 1960s. During her battle, I felt helpless. That is what attracted me to cancer research. Now I see the amazing progress we are making through cancer research. | Community involvement | I served on the state board of the American Cancer Society.

Philosophy of care | I like to focus on patient education. When patients are educated on their disease process, it empowers them. Patient participation and empowerment means they can share their opinions, knowledge, experience and expectations with health professionals to make informed decisions. This can only improve satisfaction with the care they are receiving. | Why I entered medicine | I'm a people person. I started in an engineering career but switched to medicine because I wanted to help people and form long-lasting relationships with them.

Philosophy of care | The first thing a physician must do is to listen to his patient, allowing treatment of the person rather than just the diagnosis. I believe in a team approach when caring for patients that includes physicians from multiple specialties as well as physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists and others to provide the expertise and attention you deserve. | Why I entered medicine | Urology care incorporates several aspects of medicine. Although many patients require surgical management, others require medical management alone. Having all these tools, both operative and medical, makes the management of urologic patients challenging and interesting. My interest in urologic surgery also stems from the broad application of state-of-the-art technology. Whether it is robotic surgery, minimally invasive endourologic treatment of stones and tumors, or the latest treatment techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP), I am proud to be able to offer these techniques. | Community involvement | I have participated in free prostate cancer screening clinics annually. | Personal interests | I enjoy the outdoors, fishing and hunting mostly, depending on the time of year.

Philosophy of care | Attention to detail is the philosophy best suited for urology. Each of the many facets of your patient history – physical exam, lab tests and radiologic studies – apply in providing you care. I treat patients as one treats a family member – with love, consideration, patience and understanding. | Why I entered medicine | Medicine is a field that allows you to take care of God's most precious gift – life. I find urology a particularly interesting and all-encompassing specialty. I am involved in every aspect of patient care, starting with diagnosis, medical and perhaps surgical treatment, and lifelong follow-up. Urologists treat a variety of disease processes involving organs such as prostate, kidney, bladder, testicles, penis and urethra. | Community involvement | I have gone on medical missions to Brazil, the Philippines and Haiti to help people in dire need of medical attention.

Philosophy of care | I believe in involving patients in every step of their journey, specifically by incorporating your beliefs and viewpoints into the treatment plan for personalized and compatible care. Cancer treatment is rapidly advancing and the personalized care now extends to understanding each patient's unique tumor biology with the goal of targeted therapy. I see the field only getting more exciting as we discover new diagnostic and therapeutic means for achieving unprecedented results and improving quality of life. | Why I entered medicine | One thing that drew me to oncology was the level of depth at which the doctor-patient relationship functioned. I have always appreciated the enormous responsibility we as physicians have to our patients and their loved ones with regards to transparency and evidence-based care and this is paramount when treating someone with cancer or a blood disorder. | Community involvement | As a medical student, I participated in a medical service trip to the Himalayas in Northern India where we camped at various sites to establish tent clinics as a means of providing care to local people who otherwise would not have had access. Medical aid abroad has always been a passion of mine and in the future, I would very much like the opportunity to participate in similar programs to provide oncologic care and preventative services in developing nations as well as on the home front. | Personal interests | I enjoy traveling with my family. I am of Italian origin and enjoy visiting Italy to tour historical sites, try different local dishes, and spend time with family and friends.
