Biography: I have helped thousands of cancer patients since 1998, when I completed a fellowship in medical oncology. My training enables me to diagnose multiple types of cancer and devise non-surgical treatment plans, including chemotherapy, to help patients. \n I was inspired to do this work at a young age by the loss of my mother to lymphoma. That experience helps me relate to patients dealing with more aggressive forms of cancer and provide the kind of compassionate and expert care all of us should expect. \n In 2020, we brought an unprecedented level of cancer care to Rowan County with the opening of Novant Health Wallace Cancer Institute in Salisbury. The institute offers advanced radiotherapy technology, genetic counseling, private chemotherapy suites and access to an oncology dietitian, nurse navigators, and social services all under one roof. And, it provides local access to clinical trials of advanced cancer treatments. \n I am honored to have helped bring such a comprehensive level of care to my community and value every day I have with my patients. \n My wife Trish and I are raising two daughters, Brianna and Marissa. We enjoy travelling, good food, thoroughbred horse racing and watching University of North Carolina sports. I also have a personal passion for medical mission trips.

Biography: Originally from Ghana, my parents were educators who instilled in me and my siblings the spirit of service. I chose the field of hematology and oncology because I consider cancer an area of needless suffering both physically and mentally for many patients. That's why I expanded my training to include expertise in hospice and palliative care. \n My goal is to ensure a warm, trusting environment where I can assist my patients in the development of a customized treatment plan while on their journey. And, if their cancer journey is coming to an end, my team and I can offer comfort and support at the end of life, too. Ultimately, it is about listening to your patient and their family. \n My wife, our three children and I like to travel to see new places. I am an avid outdoors person and like hiking and biking. I find the beauty of nature extremely calming. It helps to reset my mind after a long period of patient care.

Significant progress in the field has given us a lot more tools and avenues to treat patients and this is unbelievably encouraging. \n I enjoy getting to know my patients beyond just their diagnosis - what are their experiences, values and perspectives - and how can I use that information so together, we can develop a care plan that is unique to them. It is about empowering my patients to make the best treatment decisions. \n At the end of the day, I continue to be amazed by the grace and courage that I see in my patients. \n When I am not in the clinic, I enjoy hiking and walking at local parks, traveling, reading historical books and autobiographies, and visiting family.
