I am a medical oncologist with the Urologic Oncology and Skin and Soft Tissue Oncology Programs at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey.
I received my undergraduate degree at Boston College where I studied mathematics and chemistry. Following graduation, I worked for several years in clinical research operations at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. It was a formative time for me as I worked on early-phase clinical trials of new therapies for metastatic prostate cancer, many of which later became the standard therapies used to treat patients today. It was my passion for patient care that drove me toward a career as a physician. I attended medical school in New Jersey at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine and completed residency at the University of Connecticut. I then returned to New Jersey and completed a fellowship in hematology and medical oncology at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, where I also served as Chief Fellow.
It is my goal to deliver comprehensive care to each of my patients. I work collaboratively with our multidisciplinary team to provide a personalized approach to each patient’s cancer care. Most importantly, I ensure that each of my patient’s unique needs and concerns remain paramount. My research interests involve developing novel therapeutics for advanced genitourinary malignancies. As New Jersey’s only NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey allows me the unique opportunity to collaborate with investigators across disciplines to deliver innovative therapy to each of my patients.

This appointment was a second opinion session for me. Dr Stephenson was very good in explaining his opinion in what my next steps should be.
Accepted Health Plan information is only as accurate as the most current information submitted. Prior to your appointment, it is advisable to verify with your insurance company they are still a participating plan prior to receiving services or care. Each plan is different and some provide different levels of coverage that could make a difference in your out-of-pocket costs. It is always best for the patient receiving care to contact their insurance company to obtain more information.
