Patient Care Philosophy

I believe the strongest tool a patient can have is knowledge about their disease so they can be confident in their treatment path. I want to listen and understand what is important to them, answer questions, and help them understand their disease and what treatment options and clinical trials are available to provide them with the best opportunities – both medically and emotionally.
