Physician, Assistant Professor
Urology
Department: Urology
I became a physician because I am passionate about using my skills to improve each patient’s quality of life. As a urologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in outpatient urology. I regularly perform benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) procedures and treat conditions such as scrotal disorders, erectile dysfunction and kidney stones.
The well-being of a patient is always my first priority. My patients trust me to deliver a customized approach based on their particular medical issues and preferences. There are many treatment options available for urologic conditions, and the decision to proceed with a procedure or surgery should be tailored to each patient.?
After years in private practice, I chose to transition to an academic medical center because I was excited about the opportunity to advance medical students’ education in urology. Choosing The Ohio State University was easy. I was a student here myself and know the positive impact this institution has on both students and the community. I now serve as the clerkship director for the Department of Urology and I am committed to improving access to urology as a surgical subspecialty for students.
When I’m not working, I enjoy cheering on the Buckeyes! I also like hiking and running.
