Approach to care

She believes surgery is both a science and an art and is committed to providing evidence-based surgical care with compassion, personalization, and respect for each patient's individual journey. As both a breast cancer surgeon and robotic surgeon, she tailors treatment plans to align with each patient's goals and values while offering advanced surgical options. She values the relationships she builds with her patients and considers it a privilege to support them from diagnosis through treatment and survivorship. Her approach also embraces whole-person healing and incorporates principles of integrative medicine when appropriate.

Professional highlights
