Philosophy
I believe that being an oncologist is a privilege that is not to be taken lightly. I strive to provide, evidence-based care that is appropriate to my patients' particular problem, recognizing and respecting individual patient’s wishes. I take a multidisciplinary approach to care, including alternative therapies that have been shown to be effective.
