Center in Augusta, Georgia. I am also the Director of Urologic Oncology at the Department of Surgery.
Before moving to Georgia, I was heading the Center of Robotic Surgery at the prestigious Case Western Reserve
University Hospital in Cleveland Ohio.
My area of expertise is Urologic Oncology and Robotic Surgery. I have pioneered some of innovative techniques
in robotic surgery over the last years.
I strongly believe in a multi-disciplinary approach to urological cancer and in integration of clinical and
translational research into clinical practice.
