Philosophy

It gives me great satisfaction to be able to relieve pain and suffering for patients with cancer, and it gives me a great sense of achievement when my patient’s cancer goes into remission. I believe that quality medical care starts with adequate interaction with patients; spending time to understand their symptoms and concerns, never forgetting that every individual is unique and more than just a diagnosis. I pride myself on keeping current with the latest in medical research and technology and participating in leading national research to provide the best quality and compassionate care. My motto is “Do for others as you would like done for you.” 

Personal
Time spent with my wife and family is my greatest pleasure. In my spare time I enjoy reading, soccer and meditation.
