Biliary Tract Cancer near Salisbury, NC

Biography: I have helped thousands of cancer patients since 1998, when I completed a fellowship in medical oncology. My training enables me to diagnose multiple types of cancer and devise non-surgical treatment plans, including chemotherapy, to help patients. \n I was inspired to do this work at a young age by the loss of my mother to lymphoma. That experience helps me relate to patients dealing with more aggressive forms of cancer and provide the kind of compassionate and expert care all of us should expect. \n In 2020, we brought an unprecedented level of cancer care to Rowan County with the opening of Novant Health Wallace Cancer Institute in Salisbury. The institute offers advanced radiotherapy technology, genetic counseling, private chemotherapy suites and access to an oncology dietitian, nurse navigators, and social services all under one roof. And, it provides local access to clinical trials of advanced cancer treatments. \n I am honored to have helped bring such a comprehensive level of care to my community and value every day I have with my patients. \n My wife Trish and I are raising two daughters, Brianna and Marissa. We enjoy travelling, good food, thoroughbred horse racing and watching University of North Carolina sports. I also have a personal passion for medical mission trips.

Biography: I am an oncologist in Salisbury, North Carolina, where I have the privilege of caring for hematology and oncology patients from many different backgrounds. \n I believe being compassionate, patient and calm is essential when caring for people who are facing some of the most difficult phases of their lives. My personal experiences have given me a deeper understanding of the challenges my patients and their caregivers meet after a cancer diagnosis. \n My approach to healthcare starts with providing a simple explanation of the diagnosis and its implications. This helps patients weigh the risks and benefits of treatment. I feel honored to be able to provide care to our patients in a community setting. \n I am originally from India and moved to the United States to complete my medical training in Little Rock, Arkansas. I enjoy reading and cooking, as well as spending time with my husband, daughter and son. We love to go on hikes as a family.

Biography: I am a board-certified medical oncologist with more than 20 years of experience, much of it helping patients from Rowan County and neighboring areas. \n During my career, I've helped my patients using bone marrow biopsies and chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted treatments to identify and fight more than a dozen types of cancer. The list includes cancers of the lung, blood, skin, colon, liver, cervix, kidney, bladder and pancreas, as well as Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myeloma. I've treated men with testicular and prostate cancer and women with breast cancer. \n I selected oncology as a medical specialty because it allows me to help those in great need of physical and emotional care. I also believe oncology is the branch of medicine that is most challenging and subject to rapid change and innovation. \n I take time to listen to my patients and to connect with them emotionally. \n Before joining Novant Health and relocating to the Novant Health Cancer Institute - Rowan in 2020, I helped to establish Carolina Oncology Associates in Rowan County. I have served on the board of a local hospice organization and served as vice president and president of internal medicine at Rowan Regional Medical Center before it was acquired by Novant Health in 2008. \n In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and traveling with my family and reading.
