Summary
- Our urology team at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health is nationally recognized for providing genuine, expert care for patients. From a single procedure for a common condition, a lifetime of healthcare strategies for a rare urologic or genital condition or help with the transition from pediatric to adult care, our goal is the same: to give every child their best opportunity for optimal health. At Riley Hospital for Children, I am a practicing clinical pediatric urologist with an emphasis on pediatric robotic surgery. I completed my medical school training at Dartmouth Medical School followed by Urology residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. I then completed a pediatric urology fellowship at Indiana University School of Medicine and Riley Hospital for Children. My clinical interests include minimally invasive and robotic surgery, as well as sacral neuromodulation for refractory voiding dysfunction. My research interests include collaborative clinical pathways, long-term reconstructive surgical outcomes, diagnostic testing efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of robotic assisted surgery
