Overview

Philosophy of care | I believe in an interdisciplinary approach, bridging any communication gaps and symptom management issues to improve your quality of life when living with a serious illness. | Why I entered medicine | I got into the medical field to improve the care of patients with a debilitating illness. I enjoy working with a team of people who can help patients deal with physical, mental and existential issues related to their illness. | Community involvement | I enjoy educating the public about palliative care and hospice as well as advance care planning. I do it through discussions organized by various organizations locally and nationally. | Personal interests | I like spending free time with family and traveling. I love the power of humor, improv and the arts.
