Provider Background

Area of Clinical Practice
Kidney cancer

I am a board-certified urologist who sees Fred Hutch patients at UW Medical Center - Northwest. I am the Chief of Endourology and Minimally Invasive Surgery, and the Endourology Fellowship Program Director. I specialize in minimally invasive surgery focused on kidney disease, including kidney cancer, complex kidney stone disease, and kidney reconstruction for UPJ obstruction.

My research focus centers on innovative technology for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for stone disease. I am the University of Washington Principal Investigator (PI) of the NIH Urinary Stone Disease Research Network (USDRN). I served as the PI of the first in human clinical trial of ultrasonic propulsion of kidney stones and I am currently PI of the first in human study of Burst wave lithotripsy, a new technology to break kidney stones noninvasively.
