Philosophy of Care
“I believe that establishing a good patient-physician relationship is very important early in the care process. When talking to patients about cancer, the patient can be experiencing a whole host of emotions. Working with them as a team, I want to educate them regarding the process and communicate to them the effective treatment modalities to treat their cancer.
I believe as a team, the patient and I can navigate all situations as long as there is good communication and education. Having the patient and their love ones know their disease process and how to manage aids in making the best decision for treatment.
