“As a cancer surgeon, the drive to do what I do stems from the profound impact cancer has on individuals and their families and the opportunity to make a tangible difference in their lives. Surgery often represents a chance for cure or significant symptoms relief, and the privilege of being entrusted with someone’s care during such a vulnerable time is both humbling and motivating. One of my primary goals as a surgical oncologist is to ensure all patients have access to the best cancer care so they have the best possible outcomes. I work with a dedicated, multidisciplinary team of professionals here that shares this aim.”
