Introduction Video
Care Philosophy
Research proves that patient outcomes are better when the patient is involved with their care, which is why I strive to engage with my patients and respect their preferences. I want to ensure they understand the disease, their diagnosis, treatment options (including clinical trials), and the goals of their treatment. I tailor treatments based on disease state and biology and coordinate patient care with other physicians and medical personnel (like social workers) so the patient has seamless care.
