Expert started working as a Radiation Oncologist in 2023, working closely with the outpatient clinic team to evaluate and treat patients with a variety of types and stages of cancer. Expert is particularly focused on oligometastatic disease, applying an accelerated approach to radiation therapy and providing a seamless, patient-focused experience.

Expert works diligently to expand the outpatient clinic's services and provide world-class care to his patients. He chose his area of focus because he saw an opportunity to deliver a higher level of care and loves the ability to prioritize speed to care—reducing patients’ anxiety by preventing them from living in limbo during a difficult time in their lives.

Expert began his medical career with two years of service in Azerbaijan with the Peace Corps. He then earned his medical degree from Rush Medical College, followed by an intern year at University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences. While completing a radiation oncology residency, he served as chief resident and was named Resident of the Year, Researcher of the Year and earned Crain's Healthcare Hero Award.
