Personal Statement

I am a medical oncologist dedicated to treating and studying diseases that affect the genitourinary system. At Weill Cornell Medicine, I work at the intersection of science and patient care, which allows me to combine my medical training and research insights to provide the best possible care to adults with kidney, bladder, prostate and testicular cancers. It is a priority of mine to not only deliver cutting-edge and compassionate care to my patients, but to enhance the quality of life for patients and their families as they cope with a cancer diagnosis. I feel privileged to collaborate with a multidisciplinary, world-class team of clinicians, nurses, social workers and other cancer sub-specialists. Together, we are able to offer an extraordinary level of expertise and support to our patients at all stages of disease. Additionally, my scientific work involves translational research and clinical trials to investigate promising, new treatment therapies. This allows us to move the field forward in order to one day find cures for cancer.
