Biography

I am passionate about providing the best possible care for you or your loved one.

 As a medical oncologist and clinical investigator focused on lung cancer, I am actively involved in multiple clinical trials as a principal or sub-investigator in lung and head and neck cancers. I also believe strongly in a team approach to healthcare, working closely with other specialists and clinical colleagues to design and deliver an individualized, patient-focused treatment plan. I am happy to work with oncologists closer to home and provide second opinions when needed.
