“Over the years of my early schooling and training, treating oncology patients was always the most rewarding. I am amazed by the strength of these people, and awed by their family support, which inspires me to work harder toward building a partnership in recovery. I strive to develop the best treatment plan, ensuring that I’ve explored all options to find the right one for every person. I want you to have confidence that you’ve received a well-informed, honest representation of your condition and treatment options. It’s my goal to be approachable, to ensure your comfort with my recommendations and expertise, and to listen to your concerns and goals.”

Aside from that he was very attentive to my concerns and was thorough with his examination. He answered my concerns and made me feel very confident. I am extremely happy with this doctor however not with the wait."
