To ensure the accuracy of our patient satisfaction scores, we require that providers who see patients receive a minimum number of completed patient-submitted surveys before their reviews are listed on their profiles. Star ratings on this site are collected on a rolling basis from the previous 12 months.
Additionally, some of the physicians listed on our site do not see patients directly, and therefore, do not receive evaluation and ratings from patients.

Advanced Practice Clinician

Physician Assistant

Treatment Philosophy

It has been a privilege to care for cancer patients and their families as a Physician Assistant at Fox Chase Cancer Center since 2009.  As a Physician Assistant, I collaborate with Attending Physicians to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to patients with prostate, kidney, bladder, penile, adrenal and testicular cancers. 

My passion for oncology began when I was a nurse and cared for postoperative cancer patients on an inpatient surgical floor, followed by nursing in an outpatient surgical oncology clinic.  I entered the Duke University Physician Assistant Program knowing that I wanted to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients and become a part of the dynamic and fast-growing oncology field. 

At Fox Chase Cancer Center, we are fortunate to work with outstanding researchers that enable us to offer patients novel therapies on clinical trials.  Actively being a part of the trials that are changing how we treat cancer is exciting and invigorating.   I strive to support not only the patient, but their entire family and support network, throughout all phases of their cancer.  I am honored to be a part of the genitourinary medical oncology team and privileged to care for such inspiring patients and families every day.
