Overview
I have been at the Cancer Institute of New Jersey since 2006, after completing
medical school and radiation oncology residency at Yale. Prior to that I attended the
U.S. Naval Academy and served as a submarine officer aboard the USS Asheville (SSN
758).
My passion is treating head and neck cancer, and improving the care of these patients
is my career goal. To that end, I treat patients at both Robert Wood Johnson
University Hospital in New Brunswick and at University Hospital in Newark. Treating
head and neck cancer requires a team, and at both locations, we have a highly trained
team of ENT surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists to optimize our
patients? care. We discuss our patients at head and neck tumor board, and constantly
communicate with each other during treatment. To improve the care of future head and
neck patients, I have written and am currently enrolling to a head and neck cancer
trial designed to help personalize chemotherapy for patients receiving chemotherapy
and radiation.
Education is another passion of mine, and I have enjoyed teaching head and neck
radiation courses to radiation oncologists and radiologists at RSNA (Radiological
society of North America) for a number of years. I have worked with other radiation
oncologists to offer comprehensive, free online video tutorials on how to treat head
and neck cancer: https://www.educase.com/index.php/edumods/guruLogin/listcourses.
