Originally hailing from Belgium, Dr. Goris obtained a Medical Doctor from Katholieke Universiteit in Leuven in 1967 and subsequently completed a residency in radiation oncology. After immigrating to the United States in 1969, he continued his education with a Doctor of Philosophy in medical physics in 1972 from the University of California, Berkeley.
As a radiologist, Dr. Goris specializes in diagnosing and treating injuries and diseases using medical imaging (radiology) procedures (exams/tests) such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET) and ultrasound. From 1973 to 2012, he served as a professor of radiology with the Stanford University School of Medicine and provided superior education and excelled as the chairman of the university panel on radiation safety from 2003 to 2010.
