Biography
I was born and raised right here in Buffalo, NY. After earning my medical degree from Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine, I completed my general surgery residency at Mercy Health – The Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati, OH. My passion for thoracic surgery brought me back home for a fellowship at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, and I went on to complete advanced training in cardiothoracic surgery at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, NE.
I’m grateful to be back at Roswell Park, caring for patients from the very community that shaped me. It means a great deal to give back to Buffalo and to be part of the team providing hope and healing close to home.
