“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.”
