He returned to practice with 21st Century Oncology in Okaloosa County, the Cancer Center of Southern Alabama, Urology Partners of Lakewood Ranch, FL, Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, as well as joining the staff at the University of Florida Radiation Oncology Department where he headed the Radiation Pediatric Oncology Section.
