As an oncologist, you develop strong bonds with your patients. At VCS, we are fortunate to have access to state of the art therapies, which allows my patients to get stronger, healthier, and live better lives. My patients have taught me so much about what it means to be a good doctor, and this is what keeps me passionate about what I do every day.
