I treat a wide-breadth of urologic conditions, and am fellowship trained in cancers of the urinary tract. I specialize in diseases of the prostate, particularly BPH and advanced prostate cancer. I use a variety of therapies to attain optimum results.
Philosophy
I do my best to help you understand your urological condition. Together, taking into account your health, quality of life, life circumstances and wishes, we discuss the options available for treatment, and what would work best for your situation. My goal is to work with you, as a team, to optimize your health.
Personal Information
I grew up in San Diego, and obtained my undergraduate degree in Microbiology from San Diego State University. I was in the Medical Scientist Training Program at Yale University School of Medicine, where I obtained my MD and Ph.D degrees, the latter in cell biology. It is here where I developed a love for Urology. Urology may seem an unusual choice for a career, but it is the most interesting of all of the medical disciplines. It encompasses a wide variety of conditions, many of which play a very important role in the quality of a person's life, and many have very different possibilities for treatment. I moved to Seattle for my residency in Urology at the University of Washington, where I also completed a fellowship in urologic oncology, which is the advanced study of urinary tract cancers.
During this period I met my wife, Molly. We have two sons and two daughters. I enjoy spending time with my family, college football and the tuba.
