Philosophy of Care
The diagnosis of cancer marks a defining moment in anyone's life. My belief is that treatment encompasses the entire well-being of the patient. I believe in communication, respect and professionalism. I strive to explain in clear terms what the diagnosis means and to identify the treatment that fits the disease and the needs of the patient. I am committed to using the most current and effective treatments, while maximizing one's quality of life. From the moment of diagnosis, I serve as an objective and compassionate reference point for the patient and his/her loved ones during treatment and the years thereafter.
