Patient Care Philosophy
The best part of cancer care, without a doubt, is my patients. They teach me something every time I speak with them; it is an honor and a very humbling experience to be a part of their care. I consider it a privilege to be part of this most important aspect of their life and medical care. Every day I walk into our RMCC clinic, I consider it a blessing to be associated with such a fantastic group of professionals that embody the same treatment philosophy that I share. I am delighted to be able to share the care of our patients with these dedicated, qualified, empathetic individuals. We all take pride in offering appropriate treatment with state-of-the-art care. The widely encompassing network of support services provided to our RMCC patients and our physicians provides the ultimate in benefits for our patients.
