Professional Summary:

I am originally from Buffalo, NY and completed my urologic surgical training here at University at Buffalo. I then went onto complete a fellowship in Los Angeles in Reconstructive Urology and Cancer Survivorship at City of Hope National Medical Center. Following this I spent time in Ghent, Belgium & Belgrade, Serbia learning advanced techniques in reconstructive urology with a special focus in gender affirming surgery.

My current clinical practice here in Buffalo focuses on various aspects of reconstructive urology as well as general urology. Particular interests of mine include surgical management of urethral strictures, sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence, ureteral reconstruction & transgender care.
