Philosophy
It is my fundamental belief that everyone should have the care that I would want for myself or my family.
As an exclusive breast surgeon for 22 years, and a survivor myself, I have had an active part in the development of breast surgery as a subspeciality. The information regarding breast cancer is robust and often confusing. Understanding your diagnosis and treatment options available is critical in the decision-making process when deciding what is right for you. To this end, my practice is family oriented so that your support systems are actively involved in helping through this uncertain time.
