PATIENT PHILOSOPHY
I truly enjoy getting to know each of my patients as I seek to understand their individual situations, goals and desires. I believe in personalizing care for each patient. My own father’s battle with cancer inspired me to become a radiation oncologist and helps me relate better to what my patients and their families are going through. I believe in treating each of my patients with the same compassion, care and expertise that I would want for myself or any member of my own family.
