About Me

Chief, Uro-Oncology Program, Memorial Healthcare System

I am the chief of urologic oncology at Memorial Healthcare System. I care for patients with urologic malignancies including prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, testis cancer and penile cancer. I also specialize in laparoscopic and robotic surgery and perform robotic prostatectomies, robotic partial and radical nephrectomies, robotic cystectomies, vasectomies and other procedures. Robotics allow us to perform the same surgeries with minimal incisions and blood loss, rapid recovery and short hospital stays.

At Memorial, I work closely with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and other medical specialists to create and execute personalized treatment plans for patients. This individualized approach to care, as well as our dedication to patient engagement and superior outcomes, ensures we are delivering the most comprehensive care.

In addition to providing excellent patient care, I am proud to consider myself a leader in my field helping to educate others through my leadership in our local, regional and national organizations as well as my academic publications aimed at pushing the field forward. I’m very involved in national urology associations and write extensively about urologic oncology. I am an associate editor of both Advance Prostate Cancer Practice Updates Advanced Prostate Cancer and Clinical Genitourinary Cancer, and a reviewer for several other medical journals. I have published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters.

I am also actively involved in clinical research exploring various aspects of prostate cancer, and have received numerous grants to fund further exploration.

Before joining Memorial, I served as associate professor of urology and chief of section urologic oncology at Tulane University School of Medicine, and chief of urology and robotics at Southeast Louisiana Veterans Heath Care System in New Orleans. I have complete extensive oncologic fellowship training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York where I was also junior faculty.
