Patient Care Philosophy

Each cancer is unique, just like each person. My philosophy is to target the characteristics of specific cancer with all available tools, while at the same time serving the individual needs of the patient, to help achieve the best possible outcome for each and every person. Being diagnosed with cancer is a challenge, and I truly enjoy working alongside each patient, designing a comprehensive care plan, and guiding them through the process one day, and one step, at a time. A part of the process is teaching about the why’s and how’s of what we are doing so that patients can actively participate in their care.
