Overview
In providing the most stateoftheart radiation oncology care, one of my first goals is to communicate the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment options in a way that’s easy for patients and their families to understand. This helps everyone comprehend the full situation at hand and make the best decisions possible. I had the opportunity to train and practice in radiation and oncology at one of the top academic departments in the world for nearly 10 years. When interacting with patients, I draw on my expertise and experience and convey it in a direct and friendly manner that’s rooted in compassion.
