Clinical Interests
I provide radiation oncology consultation and treatment for a broad spectrum of malignant diagnoses and some benign conditions, with a special interest in breast cancer.

Care Philosophy
I believe in patient education and shared decision making. An initial consultation will generally include a thorough discussion of treatment options and education about diagnosis, prognosis, treatment process and possible side effects. I also believe that the best care is delivered when the whole team is on the same page, so I will strive to work closely with your other oncology physicians. My practice is located at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs, but I am on the faculty of the University of Colorado School of Medicine and work in close collaboration with my specialist colleagues on the Anschutz Medical Campus.
