About

Medical Interests

Dr. Lake is a multispecialty radiologist and received subspecialty training during a clinical MRI fellowship at Stanford emphasizing body MRI, breast MRI, and musculoskeletal MRI. He performs minimally invasive procedures with small needles and catheters.

He teaches by informing patients about their procedure, training fellows and residents, and works collaboratively with other McFarland providers.

He has spoken about radiology throughout his career at national conferences, state-level conferences and locally at physician and technologist in-services.

Dr. Lake embraces process improvement and improving clinical outcomes through check-list style interpretive reporting, applying RECIST criteria to oncologic interpretation and working toward best practice within the realm of radiology.
