Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:
I am the Site Director of Radiation Oncology at York Cancer Center and formerly Johns Hopkins faculty attending physician. I specialize in radiation therapy, brachytherapy (seeds), stereotactic radiosurgery/stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), and proton therapy. My clinic is dedicated to patients with prostate cancer, brain tumors, head and neck tumors, lung cancer, breast cancer, gastrointestinal tumors (esophageal, pancreatic, and rectal), and bladder cancer. I led the Hopkins team that developed the SBRT program at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and treated the first SBRT patient at Hopkins.
What I want my patients to know about me:
I strive to provide every one of my patients the care I would give to my own family. A physician can succeed in such care when two things are met: (1) The physician has true, deep concern for his patient, and (2) the physician is skilled and experienced, knowledgeable and completely up-to-date, and able to access the state-of-the-art technology for his patient. Cancer treatment is absolutely one of the most difficult times in a person's life, and when a cancer patient entrusts the doctor with his or her life, only with the most serious commitment can the doctor be allowed to accept this trust. I am committed in this way to every single one of my patients.
What I do when I'm not seeing patients:
I was born in Jerusalem, Israel. I am married and a father of two. I am a pianist and an avid cyclist.
