Care Philosophy

I believe that most patients get overall better care when treated by physicians who live and work in the same community. There have been incredible advancements in the treatment of cancer, but even more important than whether a cancer can be treated is how to treat the patient. What are her goals and needs? What sort of activities does he like to do? I relish the challenge to balance helping my patients live as long as possible, while continuing to be as active as they can.

Benign blood disorders can also be life-altering and I want to help patients manage these problems as best as we can. Patient safety is an important goal of mine and is why I have been active with pharmacy & therapeutics committees since I started practicing in 2002. In my role at the US Oncology Network Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, I work closely with pharmacists and physicians across the country to help practices continually improve their systems to provide better and safer care.
