Dr. Farha’s philosophy of care
“Breast cancer is highly-curable especially when detected early. The process of diagnosis and treatment can be stressful for patients and their loved ones. Our team tends to the needs of the person as a whole - as much as we focus on the cancer treatment. Our philosophy is built on supporting the patient and their loved ones with education, compassion, and other forms of support. Patient treatment plans are designed through multispecialty teamwork at our tumor board conferences as well as at our multidisciplinary breast cancer clinic. Together, these approaches allow us to streamline the process of care for patients and keep communication lines open and effective for our team.”
