Overview
I am a board certified oncologist/ hematologist who has been practicing for more than 20 years. I believe in discussing different options of treatment with patients and help them make an informed decision about their care. I am respectful of the choices patients make. Engaging family members in patient care is also very important to me as cancer affects the whole family. I usually will explore other option including clinical trials for the patient. Optimizing patient quality of life with improving their overall outcome is vitally important to me.
