Clinical Interests
I see patients only at the Shaw Cancer Center in Vail (Edwards, CO 970-569-7429). I specialize in prostate cancer issues from screening to initial treatment to caring for patients with metastatic disease. I serve on several advisory boards for new medications used in GU cancers.

Care Philosophy
Patients facing cancer need expertise and experience as well as compassion. Finding options for further therapy is always a priority. I write a blog to help my patients (and others) keep up that you can access here: www.prost8blog.com. In addition, supporting a patient who has exhausted all options is a sacred trust, and life is a journey we all share. It is a privilege to be on that journey with my patients.

Personal Interests
My hobbies include golf, skiing, fly-fishing, and woodworking. Grandparenting is an increasingly lovely diversion as well!
