Overview
I am Board Certified in Hematology and Oncology and have been practicing in the Greater Sacramento area for more than 11 years. I received my Internal Medicine degree from Abington Memorial Hospital, Abington, PA, were I was honored to serve as the Chief Resident. From there, knowing that I wanted to go into the field of Hematology/Oncology, I completed my Fellowship training at Georgetown University Hospital, in Washington D.C., where I was also served as Chief Fellow. After being in private practice for 6 years, I joined Mercy Medical Group where I am currently the Department Chair of Medical Specialties.As part of my ongoing desire to learn, I work closely with a talented multi-disciplinary team, which includes, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, and surgical specialists. We meet regularly to review cancer cases and ensure that all treatment options are being considered. I am also an active member in the California Medical Association, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, and the American Society of Hematology.With my free time I like to travel, run, hike and spend time with family.I decided to become an Oncologist because it is a specialty that is all about helping people. I enjoy working closely with my patients and feel like I become a part of their family. In addition, Oncology is an ever evolving field where a physician needs to keep up to date with latest advancements; this challenges me and keeps me intellectually engaged. I strongly believe in providing state of the art care with personalized service.

Mercy Cancer Center - Sacramento
I was born in Virginia, and raised in the mid-west. During the course of my training at Georgetown University, I served as the Chief Resident and subsequently as the Chief Fellow. I moved to the west coast to be closer to my parents. I am married with three beautiful children. My hobbies include tennis, golf, hiking, and cooking. I also believe in community service and try to volunteer in local free clinics and homeless shelter programs. My specific professional interests include clinical research, precision medicine, and multidisciplinary clinical care. I serve on the local board of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, as the Medical Director of Clinical Research for Mercy Medical Group, and as the Chairperson of the Oncology Clinical Council.I believe that medicine is both a science and an art. The best type of medical care combines the latest scientific knowledge with a patient's preferences. A physician's job is to deliver personalized medical care and bridge the gap between science, culture and expectations. I strive to connect with patients and understand their needs. I also believe that medical care requires a team based approach. I work hard to coordinate care with other physicians. The care I provide is only as good at the nurses, medical assistants, front office staff, and back office staff I work with. Our team focuses on providing great service and compassionate care.
