Care Philosophy
A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. I strive to partner with my patients and their families in providing comprehensive and compassionate care. I will review all options – both surgical and nonsurgical – to make sure my patients are getting the best possible treatment plan. There is no greater feeling than when a patient puts their trust in me to bring them through this journey. And, there is no greater joy than when I can celebrate with my patient at the end of this long road.

Overall, I felt the doctor was great and very knowledgeable. When the doctor came in he shared with us his plan of care and the why behind it. He set my mind at ease as he allowed me to participate in my own plan of care. He also took the time to educate me as to why a potential plan of care was not in my best interest. I felt his approach was beneficial to set my mind at ease.
