Overview
I am a fellowship trained neurosurgeon at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. I am a Buffalo native and attended medical school here at the University at Buffalo. I was fortunate enough to then complete residency with the University at Buffalo Neurosurgery program. I subsequently moved to Tampa, Florida where I completed advanced training specifically in neuro-oncology and skull base neurosurgery at Moffitt Cancer Center.
I then returned to Buffalo to work at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center where I treat patients with a wide range of tumors involving the central nervous system. I have a specific interest in minimally invasive keyhole neurosurgery which utilizes smaller openings to remove tumors. I specialize in both open and endoscopic approaches to skull base tumors. I am also certified in gamma knife radiotherapy.
I am honored to be able to treat patients in the same community in which I grew up in. In my free time I enjoy exploring new restaurants and sailing on Lake Erie.
