Overview
Philosophy of care | Navigating a new cancer diagnosis is a difficult experience for patients and their loved ones. My goal is to educate and guide my patients and their caretakers through every step of the journey. I strive to make sure there is a clear understanding of the underlying disease process and all of the treatment options available so we can decide the best path forward. | Why I entered medicine | I found myself drawn to medicine at an early age after being inspired by my pediatrician. I’ve always been fascinated by the interplay between science, communication, and advocacy as a physician. As an oncologist, I’m in a privileged position to help those in what can be the most harrowing journey of their lives. I want to develop strong rapport with the people I care for to help them understand their disease and what it means for their future. Oncology is an evolving field with many exciting advancements, and it is gratifying to use these new findings to change lives for the better. | Community involvement | Throughout my medical training, I volunteered in many free clinics. I’m excited to explore the area and take advantage of any opportunities to give back. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, trying new restaurants, and reading.

LVH Hematology Oncology-Pocono
Philosophy of care | Having been on the receiving end of multiple cancer diagnoses within my own family as I grew up, I strongly believe my patients and their families have the right to an honest discussion about their disease process. I personally make every effort to explain things in a simple yet detailed way, so patients understand their disease, goals of care and treatment plan. I want to be a trusted partner in helping them deal with their diagnosis, and make every effort to treat each patient as I would a family member. | Why I entered medicine | My family suffers from a genetic syndrome that predisposes them to developing cancer. Having grown up watching and helping most of the people I love deal with cancer, I decided to study medicine and do what I could to improve treatment and help others live their best possible lives with this disease. After medical school, I did basic science research at Johns Hopkins University, followed by residency and fellowship training at the Cleveland Clinic and the University of Pittsburgh, all to become the best oncologist I could be. | Community involvement | I am involved in organizations and charities that improve the lives and treatment of cancer patients. I also help provide free specialized remote care and expert opinion to international patients in collaboration with their local health care providers. I enjoy community events to educate people on targeted therapies and their success in making cancer a chronic disease. I also enjoy giving talks on how oncology is evolving and how cancer today often means patients living full lives while being treated for their disease. | Personal interests | Outside of work, I love to spend time with my family and our two dogs. Together we enjoy cooking, traveling, trying new cuisines and being outdoors. I also enjoy hunting and fishing.
