About Me

Care Philosophy

  • I am a sub-specialty trained doctor who specializes in the care of cancer. I am a surgical oncologist dedicated to compassionate surgical care. I believe in establishing a relationship of trust with all of my patients, and keeping them informed at all times. Surgical oncology is a complex field which requires close coordination of care with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, gastroenterologists, pathologists, nurses, and a full team of supportive caregivers. My practice requires routine interaction with the entire cancer team. Each patient is individual, and each cancer is individual. I strive to assure that treatment is up to date and personalized.
