Dr. Ronson’s Philosophy of Care

“When I first meet with someone in consultation, I like to get to know them as a person, and not just a patient. It helps guide how we make treatment decisions. It also helps me understand how to educate patients and their families. What is most fulfilling about my work is having patients come back in for follow-up appointments – two, five, and ten years into remission. They are cancer free and tell me about their lives and families. That is what I find most rewarding.”
