Care Philosophy: It is my belief that every patient has the right to know the truth about his/her condition and that it is my responsibility to prepare patients and their families for these truths and for their participation in decisions regarding their care. I am a true believer of relationship between mind and body and I make great effort to provide a very personalized management plan for each patient. I treat every patient as if he or she was my own family and that is my personal promise to each patient.

Care Philosophy: I do not treat cancer, I treat patients with cancer emphasizing the role of the body, mind and complex organs and systems involved in control of the disease, and the impact of treatment on those systems. My goal is to prevent diseases and complications, alleviate pain, avoid unnecessary suffering, and always improve quality of life, a life to be longer, prosperous and enjoyable.
