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.

Philosophy of care | Effective medical care begins with a deep understanding of each patient’s circumstances and needs. The physician-patient relationship is foundational and must be a two-way dialogue built on trust and respect. I prioritize learning what truly matters to you and your family. I offer treatment recommendations and options that align with your values, preferences and goals. While my clinical focus is on blood disorders and blood cancers, listening carefully and tailoring care to patients is the heart of everything I do. I provide guidance and recommendations, but the decisions ultimately belong to you, the patient. I strongly believe in a team-based approach, where collaboration and communication yield the best outcomes. | Why I entered medicine | When I started college, medicine was the farthest thing from my mind; I was an economics major and took the MCAT on a whim. To my surprise, I scored far better than expected for someone without a science background, and that led me to medical school. Looking back, I can’t imagine doing anything else. Medicine – and caring for patients – has become my true passion. My path into the field was unconventional but led me exactly where I was meant to be. Practicing hematology and oncology isn’t just a career for me – it’s the only thing I can see myself doing. | Community involvement | As a part of cancer center leadership, I participate in local events and charities for patients with cancer and blood diseases, including speaking to the leukemia/lymphoma society. I am particularly fond of events centered around running for cancer charities. | Personal interests | Running is a personal passion of mine – second only to medicine and my family.
