About

I graduated from Harvard College and received my medical degree from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine. I continued residency training at Rutgers Department of Radiation Oncology and served as chief resident prior to joining the faculty as Assistant Professor at the Yale Department of Therapeutic Radiology. My practice is primarily based in Trumbull, CT. My areas of professional interest and expertise include breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancers, radiosurgery, and proton therapy.

  • Why does radiation cause hair loss?

    Radiation side effects are location specific. Meaning, if your right foot is being radiated, you will only develop hair loss on the right foot and nowhere else on the body. Cells that grow the fastest (ie: cells that produce hair, cells that produce skin or mucosa), usually are at risk for radiation damage. This is also in part why radiation is used to target cancer cells, whose proliferation far exceeds normal cells. READ MORE

  • Can massage therapy help someone going through radiation treatments?

    Physical therapy in any form is often helpful in cancer patients undergoing treatment. Every patient is unique, but there are certain conditions that may substantially improve with various forms of massage and physical therapy. One of them is lymphedema, which many patients with breast cancer may experience. Massage, compression sleeves, elevation, are all recommended to alleviate this side effect. Physical therapists are experts in this field and I highly recommend seeing them in consultation. READ MORE
