Care Philosophy: I believe in the human element of medicine. Patients deserve a partner in care. To that end, I am dedicated to open communication with each patient so that together we can establish a relationship built on trust and work together toward the best outcome possible.

Care Philosophy: I have experienced cancer firsthandfirst, as a teen when my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Shortly after, I was diagnosed with acute leukemia. These experiences are what brought me to this career and are what drive my passion for treating my patients. It also gives me unique insight into and empathy for what my patients and their families are experiencing, which adds an additional layer to my care.
