We have a very active cytopathology / Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB) service and I personally perform FNAs for oncology, ENT, oral maxillofacial surgery and other services on a routine basis. We provide Rapid Onsite Evaluation (ROSE) and reporting of all image guided biopsies. I am also certified in performing ultrasound-guided FNABs.

My research interests include gynecologic cytology and HPV testing, as well as fine-needle aspiration biopsy and its surgical correlation in the diagnosis of head and neck tumors and breast cancers. I also work with a group at the University of Utah on pathophysiology and therapeutic aspects of galactosemia.
