Summary

  • I treat a wide spectrum of urologic conditions in men, women, and children, with a special focus in minimally-invasive urology. I use the daVinci robotic surgical system to treat cancer of the prostate and kidney, as well as reconstructive surgeries for hydronephrosis and pelvic organ prolapse. The minimally-invasive approach has been proven to decrease postoperative pain, blood loss, hospital stay, and the time to full recovery.

    I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and graduated from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in 2006. In 2012, I completed urology residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. I am a Board-Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Urology. I then practiced urology at Martin Army Community Hospital until January 2016, serving as the Chief of Urology.

    I have a wife, Carrie, two daughters, Lillian and Elise, and a dog, Watson. I hold membership with the American Urological Association and the Southeastern American Urological Association.
