“I believe being an oncologist is not only an important responsibility but a true privilege. Every patient I meet represents an opportunity for me to make a real difference and to help turn a cancer patient into a cancer survivor! This is why I strive to provide the most attentive, effective, and advanced, evidence based care possible. And I do it with heartfelt empathy, guidance, and support for my patients and their families.”
