I am a board-certified, fellowship-trained surgical oncologist with more than 20 years of experience in treating cancer patients. I am excited to return to practice in the greater Lehigh Valley. I previously practiced at the Pocono Medical Center for six years before joining Crozer-Keystone Health System and now, St. Luke’s. I treat cancers of all types, including thyroid, parathyroid, sarcoma, melanoma, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric and liver cancer. I not only have clinical experience in caring for cancer patients, I also have extensive cancer research experience in studying breast cancer biology.
My work has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals including Cancer Research, Cytometry, European Journal of Cancer and the International Journal of Oncology. I have presented at numerous cancer symposiums including the American Association for Cancer Research and the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
I received my medical degree from Tver State Medical Academy in Russia. I completed a general surgery residency at Drexel University College of Medicine and went on to a fellowship in surgical oncology at Fox Chase Cancer Center.
I am fluent in Russian. I will see oncology patients in Monroe County at the Stroud Building, located at 208 Lifeline Road in Stroudsburg, as well as St. Luke’s Anderson Campus in Easton.
In my spare time, I enjoy soccer, hiking, gardening and swimming.
