About Me
I treat cancers of all types but predominantly prostate, lung, gastrointestinal, and head and neck malignancies. I strive to provide compassionate care to my patients. I also aim to provide patient access to the latest therapies through enrollment on appropriate clinical trials. Outside of clinical care, my family and I enjoy being outdoors and are excited to explore more of North Carolina.
