About Me
Like most doctors, I pursued a medical career because of my love for the sciences and a desire to care for people and their families, so they can lead more fulfilling lives. During my medical training, I was drawn to urology because it enables me to better a patient’s quality of life while using cutting-edge technology to treat various conditions. I also have the opportunity to care for patients of various ages, making every case and every day exciting.
When treating patients, I strive to tailor the treatment approach to each person’s condition and overall goals. I also educate and support patients so they can be an integral part of their care and make empowered decisions.
In addition to patient care, I am involved in clinical research to improve prostate cancer detection and post-operative prostatectomy outcomes.
When I’m not at the hospital, I enjoy exploring the city, attending concerts, traveling, reading and watching films.
