My family and I moved to NYC from Russia when I was 3 years old. I went to college and medical school in New York but moved to the midwest for my urology training. I practiced for 2 years as a general urologist before seeking out a robotics fellowship. I was very fortunate to study under the tutelage of Dr. Ronney Abaza before taking a position at Washington University in St. Louis where I currently practice. I have a wife and 3 wonderful young children. I have a passion for robotic urologic surgery and adapting newer technologies. When I'm not working we can usually be found at home cooking, gardening and going on bike rides.
