Overview

I’m an oncologist-hematologist interested in general oncology, lung cancer, gastrointestinal oncology, breast cancer and benign hematology, such as bleeding and clotting disorders. I received my medical degree from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science near Chicago, IL, and I completed my internal medicine residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pennsylvania, PA. I completed my hematology and medical oncology fellowship at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN. During my training, I participated in clinical research and was published in numerous medical journals. It’s important to me to listen sincerely, have compassion and act with empathy when caring for patients, and I always keep this in mind when creating treatment plans.
