About Me

Moving to Jacksonville from the Philadelphia area has given my wife and me the opportunity to experience a vibrant and growing new city, and I’m thrilled to be part of the talented and growing team at Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center. On a personal note, I enjoy outdoor activities, including sports, collecting fossils, and spending time with my three grown children and granddaughter.

My philosophy of care involves spending the time to get to know my patients, answering their questions, and understanding their goals, fears and desires regarding surgery and treatment. I want my patients to know all of their options, including the pros and cons, so that together we can make the best decisions. This frequently involves not just the surgeon, but also a team of cancer physicians working to give each patient an individualized plan of care that gives them the greatest chance of a successful outcome.
