PHILOSOPHY
I strive to know my patients as well as their families because I treat human beings and not cancers. In doing so, I listen, understand, and address their concerns and fears. Fighting cancer is a long journey and I endeavor to always be there for my patients. Medicine is an extremely humbling profession for which I have a keen appreciation of, and gratitude for, the privilege of caring for all my patients and their families.
