Philosophy of Care
As a cancer surgeon, I often meet patients during one of the worst periods of their lives. In light of this, I take every effort to make this dark period a little easier to navigate. I work with each patient to customize their care to their unique needs and situation that they are experiencing to maximize the benefit they will receive from their treatment. I will work collaboratively with the other providers involved in their care to maximize a positive outcome. I promise every patient and their family to be compassionate, honest, and provide a helping hand at every point along the way.
