Personal Statement

My approach to caring for patients is holistic, evidence based, and characterized by treatment of the whole person, and not just the physical symptoms of a disease. I am fortunate to work with a multidisciplinary group of physicians who are dedicated and enable me to provide the best comprehensive cancer care possible. 

I aim to provide the best care by listening to my patients, guiding them through their diagnosis, staying up to date on current research, and exploring appropriate clinical trials for them. 

In addition to addressing medical needs, I also ensure that I am working as a team with each patient to address their non-medical needs and goals.
