Practicing oncology gives me the opportunity to treat life-threatening diseases, all while developing a close personal relationship with you and your loved ones. While respecting your autonomy and choices, my job is to educate and guide, while forming a partnership for joint decision-making. As opposed to other specialty physicians, oncologists treat you as a whole instead of a problem defined by a specific organ. My broad knowledge of medicine allows me to help you in many aspects of your overall health. Empathy, combined with the understanding of your specific mental, intellectual, and spiritual response to your cancer journey, helps me deliver the highest standard of comprehensive care.
