I believe that the care of every patient should be tailored to their disease process, other medical conditions, and goals of treatment. My philosophy is to provide multidisciplinary care that offers patients all available options, including the most recent treatment advances and participation in clinical trials. The end result is an individualized treatment plan that addresses the disease but also values each patient’s unique perspective regarding care.
