I offer the best emerging treatment options for patients and serve as a guide for them and their families during what is often a challenging time. I offer everything from standard-of-care cancer therapy to cutting-edge clinical trials to improve the lives of patients and their families. I make treatment decisions based on the goals, wishes and lifestyles of my patients and their families. It's rewarding to help a patient feel better and return to the activities they enjoy most, whether it's a long walk, swinging a golf club, or going to dinner with friends.

Care Philosophy: A diagnosis of cancer can be a time where people feel very little control. My favorite part of caring for people with cancer is putting the control back in their lives by making them feel knowledgeable about their diagnosis, helping them gain an understanding of their treatment choices and helping them make personalized decisions that take their priorities and values in consideration for a plan they feel comfortable with. I see patients who have been diagnosed with breast and gynecologic cancers. I see patients ranging from the standard of care to those participating in late phase trials and early trials in our drug development unit. Having a physician focused just on women's cancers across the gamut of treatment options enables patients to know they are getting the absolute best care for their cancer at any moment along their cancer journey from a wide variety of treatment options.
