Board-Certified: Medical Oncology, Hematology and Internal Medicine

"Caring for patients as a hematologist/oncologist is an incredible privilege, and I work hard to ensure that my patients have access to the very best evidence-based treatment options. Every cancer patient is different, and I strive to fully understand each patient’s goals and preferences, as well as their unique cancer biology, to determine the best possible treatment plan. I believe honesty and good communication are key to good cancer care, as is a team-based approach with our nursing staff, pharmacists, other specialist and primary care physicians, and the rest of the care team. I am continuously amazed at the resilience and strength of the patients I care for, and find the close relationships created with my patients and their families to be the most rewarding aspect of my work."

"I am truly honored by the trust placed in me by our patients and their families when it comes to their care. I view cancer as a family diagnosis, as it affects everyone. I feel it is very important that the patient be involved in their care planning because at the end of the day, they are in charge. Our entire staff works extremely well as a team, providing the best care available for our patients and their families."

"Throughout my clinical experience, I have always strived to know the patient by their story and not only their diagnosis. I believe better patient care is provided when there is a relationship between the patient and their provider. I am grateful that I get the opportunity to support our patients and their families throughout these difficult times in their life."
