Care Philosophy
My goal is to treat patients as if they were part of my own family or closest friends. My goal is to help you understand your disease and the treatment plan. I encourage patients and family members to ask me questions so that they can better cope with their illness. I am also a strong advocate of clinical trials to help advance the state of knowledge in the treatment of cancer.
