My goal as a physician is to provide personalized care for my patients, tailoring state-of-the-art therapy to their individual situations, and providing them access to cutting-edge clinical trials. I believe that the care of my patients extends well beyond just focusing on the optimal therapy of their cancer; my approach is to treat patients as an individual, addressing all the social, emotional and psychological issues that arise secondary to a cancer diagnosis.
