About Me

Care Philosophy

Seeing two of my uncles work as physicians is part of why I was drawn to medicine even at a young age. Seeing them care for their patients instilled the importance of having compassion for my patients. However good you are as a physician clinically and skillfully is important, but you cannot provide care without compassion. Everything else -- whether the treatment is chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgery -- comes after that.

Area of Interest

I am a general hematologist-oncologist, and I have a special interest in caring for patient with lung cancer.
