About Me
-
I am a gynecologic surgeon who specializes in surgery for women with ovarian, endometrial, cervical, vulvar, or vaginal cancer. I have a strong interest in providing minimally invasive surgical options for our patients, including both laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures. Minimally invasive procedures result in less blood loss than do traditional surgeries, allowing for shorter hospital stays and faster recuperation time for patients. I am one of the few gynecologic oncologists who performs robotic procedures using the DaVinci Robotic System. I also perform radical procedures in cases when these more-traditional surgeries may provide better results and longer survivial. These include debulking for ovarian cancer and radical procedures for other gynecologic cancers. I also have a strong interest in clinical research. Research is vital for development of better treatments for all patients diagnosed with cancer. People with cancer face a difficult journey, and clinical trials are just one of the tools I offer my patients to help them during this time. Over this next year, I will be assuming the role of principal investigator at MSKCC for the Gynecologic Oncolgogy Group -- a national group conducting quality cooperative research at many institutions throughout the country. In 2004, I completed my fellowship at MSKCC and received the Michael E. Burt Memorial Award for Clinical Excellence. I then became Director of Gynecologic Services at the New Jersey Medical School, where I received the National Faculty Award from the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology. I joined the MSKCC staff in 2007. I am a member of many medical societies and the author of peer-reviewed scientific articles, chapters, and reviews.
