About Me

care philosophy

I enjoy knowing that I can help any cancer patient no matter their condition or the stage of the disease. I love being in a rapidly expanding field with better drugs and higher cure rates. I am friendly and easy-going with my patients, and I try to take the fear out of their diagnoses and give them the best possible care.
