Overview
It is humbling to meet patients as they face a difficult diagnosis of breast cancer and/or breast abnormalities. As a breast surgical oncologist, my goal is to help alleviate that burden by surgically removing the tumor and to aid in restoring wholeness. The legacy of my role model Mr. Fred Rogers, is to find opportunities (in medicine) to show one another kindness. “You make each day a special day. You know how, by just your being you. There’s only one person in this whole world like you. And people can like you exactly as you are.”.

Davis Ambulatory Surgical Center
I am a surgical oncologist and researcher whose primary areas of focus are cancers of the liver and pancreas. As a surgeon, I believe in using minimally-invasive techniques, when possible, to speed up a patient’s recovery and get them to other avenues of care faster. My research is focused on clinical practice and clinical outcomes. I became interested in surgical oncology, because I enjoy the opportunity to restore hope to patients who may feel despair after their initial cancer diagnosis. I aim to restore hope by connecting with patients individually and providing them with options for treatment when they might feel they have none. I also work closely with my radiology oncology and medical oncology colleagues in crafting a treatment and care plan. Working together as a team often allows us to come up with a much better treatment plan than any of us could by ourselves.
