Get To Know Me
Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I hope that my patients feel as if I am caring for them as my family members.
What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Good communication and shared decision-making are important for the best patient experience and outcomes.
How do you spend your valuable personal time when you’re not caring for patients?
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, live music/concerts and cooking.
Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I enjoy radiation oncology because it combines the multidisciplinary approach of oncology care with the technical aspects of radiation therapy. The greatest reward is the relationships I can form with my patients.
