Biography
“My greatest inspiration is my patients. It is an incredible blessing to wake up every day with the privilege of guiding patients from the initial fear and worry of a cancer diagnosis to one day being cancer-free. The strength and courage shown by my patients and their families as they confront their disease every day will never cease to amaze me.”
Dr. Wild is board certified in radiation oncology. He has experience in treating all types of cancer with proton, photon, electron, radionuclide, and brachytherapy-based radiation treatment approaches. These include intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic body radiation therapy/stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SBRT/SABR), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and 3D conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT).
He became interested in radiation oncology after observing as a medical student that certain cancers could be treated and cured in a completely non-invasive fashion without inflicting pain, without ever cutting a patient with a scalpel and without administering any foreign drug inside the body.
He received the Resident Clinical/Basic Science Award in Radiation and Cancer Biology from the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and has been awarded research grants from the American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
He is a member of Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society and The Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.
He received his undergraduate degree in molecular biochemistry & biophysics from Yale University before completing his medical degree at Johns Hopkins University. He then completed his residency training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center where he served as chief resident.
After spending over a decade participating in laboratory-based translational and basic science research, he currently focuses on clinical outcomes research and clinical trials. He has published over 30 manuscripts in scientific and medical journals and his work has been presented at national and international clinical and scientific meetings on more than 50 occasions.
Outside of the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife, their growing family and their 2 dogs. He likes reading mysteries and historical fiction, the outdoors, sailing, skiing and participating in their church community.
