Philosophy of Care
Given the multiple factors related to cancer, my aim is to ensure patients and families have all the information they need when making critical health care decisions in cancer care, as well as cancer prevention. Whether we are concerned with genetic testing or cancer treatment planning, I will help you navigate the system, evaluate all the options, and serve as an overall resource in cancer services.
