GU Oncology Program – Medical Director (Bethlehem / Anderson), Hematologic Malignancies Program – Medical Director (Bethlehem / Anderson)

I treat my patients with dignity and respect as if I’m treating my own family. We offer the most up to date plan throughout our patients’ journeys here at St. Luke’s.

I love what I’m doing, and I’m blessed to be here.

I am a board-certified hematologist / oncologist. I’ve been working at St. Luke’s University Health Network and as a principal investigator on multiple clinical studies. My practice concentrates on benign and malignant hematology, lung cancer, bladder, prostate and kidney cancers.
