BiliaryTractCancer near Woodland, CA

Care Philosophy: My goal is to utilize all the resources available to me to treat the cancer and to put it into remission. I realize that there is a fine balance between treatment of the cancer and a patient's quality of life, so I listen to my patients needs and value their input. My greatest joy is having a patient who is there to watch their children grow or celebrates another birthday or anniversary.

Care Philosophy: I believe that medicine is both a science and an art. The best type of medical care combines the latest scientific knowledge with a patient's preferences. A physician's job is to deliver personalized medical care and bridge the gap between science, culture and expectations. I strive to connect with patients and understand their needs. I also believe that medical care requires a team based approach. I work hard to coordinate care with other physicians. The care I provide is only as good at the nurses, medical assistants, front office staff, and back office staff I work with. Our team focuses on providing great service and compassionate care.

Care Philosophy: I feel medicine is a partnership with my patients to provide them with the best care possible. I always aim to give my patients the same level of care I would expect for my own family.

Care Philosophy: I like to educate patients, listen to them, answer their questions, and thereby empower them to make the best treatment decisions as individuals. I also utilize a team-approach to provide excellent patient care. I decided to become a Gynecologic-Oncologist for the unique combination of interesting surgical procedures along with the opportunity to get to know my patients and their families through continuity of care.

Care Philosophy: Great care requires a team approach. I believe we should have all the information we need to make informed decisions, and to know in advance what to expect from surgery and recovery. The focus of my work is general surgery (hernia, gall bladder, emergency surgery, etc.) but I have a special interest in treating diseases of the thyroid/parathyroid, breast, and colon. I also devote a significant portion of my practice to treating cancer, including breast and colon cancer. For all my surgeries I use minimally invasive surgical techniques and multimodal pain control methods whenever possible to reduce recovery time and post-operative pain. I want people to be able to get back to their lives and families as soon as possible!
