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, 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 with the care I would give to my own family, and I believe three central components are necessary for the physician to succeed in this way: (1) The physician has true, deep concern for his patient and really understands that the patient's life is being entrusted to him; (2) the physician is experienced and knowledgeable and entirely up-to-date; and (3) the physician is 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.
