Care Philosophy
As a physician and breast cancer survivor, my care philosophy centers on providing compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-based care tailored to each individual's unique journey. I believe in empowering patients through knowledge, fostering a collaborative partnership, and addressing not only the physical aspects of their disease but also their emotional and psychosocial well-being. I believe in integrating family and support systems into the care process whenever appropriate and desired by the patient to provider the extra strength and encouragement a patient might need.
Specializing In
Triple negative, HER2+ and hormone positive breast cancer in both men and women
DCIS/LCIS
High risk for breast cancer management and chemoprevention
Management of genetic predisposition for breast cancer

My concerns about prophylactic whole body screening were not met with medical curiosity, rather with certainty as to what is standard recommendation. My unique concerns as an individual patient do not seem of concern.
