My Approach

I am a dual trained adult and pediatric interventional radiologist with a focus on interventional oncology. I am always looking for new ways to minimally invasively treat tumors in children, especially when conventional options are limited. At Stanford, we are pioneering new therapeutic modalities, such as high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which offers a non-invasive approach for tumor ablation. In addition, I have interests in liver interventions, ablative therapies, vascular anomalies and thrombolysis.

As a physician-scientist, my goal is to translate new findings from the laboratory to the bedside to improve patient care and well-being. My interests include nanoparticle platforms and cellular/stem cell therapy for tissue regeneration.

My goal is always to treat the family and child together, offering a caring and compassionate approach with safety as my primary concern.
