Philosophy of care | As a physician dedicated to the comprehensive care of cancer patients, my philosophy centers on empathy, communication and personalized treatment. I build a trusting and compassionate relationship with my patients, ensuring they are fully informed about their condition and treatment options. I am committed to understanding their unique goals and wishes and tailoring their treatment plans accordingly. I integrate leading-edge advancements by offering participation in clinical trials, contributing to the progress of oncology care. My goal is not only to provide exceptional medical expertise, but also to support and empower patients, fostering collaboration that prioritizes physical and emotional well-being. | Why I entered medicine | I chose a medical career with a specific focus on cancer care because it offered me the opportunity to seamlessly merge the dynamic advancements in cancer biology with the profound personal connections essential for understanding and supporting my patients. The ever-evolving science of cancer has fascinated me, driving my commitment to staying at the forefront of breakthroughs and innovations. However, it is the deeply personal nature of medicine that truly inspires me – the privilege of learning about my patients, understanding their unique stories and collaborating with them as they heal. This dual passion for scientific progress and compassionate patient care motivates me. | Community involvement | I contribute to public education with the presentation, detection and treatment of lung cancers. In doing so I empower individuals with knowledge, foster early detection and encourage proactive engagement in their lung health. | Personal interests | I have a deep love for exploring diverse cultures through culinary adventures, mastering the art of cooking international cuisine and indulging in the creativity of baking. I am also passionate about personal fitness, recognizing the importance of a healthy and balanced lifestyle. My love for international travel serves as inspiration, allowing me to broaden my perspectives and immerse myself in different societies. Such pursuits allow me to connect with patients on a more personal level, fostering a holistic approach to health care. Dr. Patson is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Richter Syndrome. His top areas of expertise are Lung Cancer, Pleuropulmonary Blastoma, Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), Chronic B-Cell Leukemia (CBCL), and Bone Marrow Aspiration.
