PHILOSOPHY
I believe in honest and effective communication with my patients and care providers. I realize that it takes a multidisciplinary team approach to take care of our patients with cancer. My care philosophy is that at the end of our discussion, my patients received and understood all the information given to them in regards to their diagnosis and prognosis, as well as therapeutic options available to them when deciding on a treatment. I also advocate my patients for participation in clinical trials whenever available as it allows for them to receive frontline drug therapies while contributing to research and knowledge to improve care in the future.
