Summary
- I am a board-certified radiation oncologist specializing in treating breast and gynecologic cancers. I use carefully targeted, high doses of radiation energy to destroy or damage cancer cells. I am highly experienced in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and brachytherapy. I also manage the care and treatment of cancer patients and work closely with other doctors, including medical and surgical oncologists, to provide comprehensive care.
