Treatment Philosophy

As a palliative care physician, I believe that caring for patients experiencing cancer is a team sport – it requires close partnership between a patient and their caregivers, their oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, and an interprofessional supportive oncology and palliative care team. I strive to help my patients navigate the symptoms and stresses of cancer and the side effects of treatments, whether they be physical, social, or psychological. Most importantly, I want to know what matters most to my patients as they navigate this journey. I am humbled by the privilege of partnering with patients, learning about their lives and families, and working together to improve their quality of life throughout their journey with cancer.
