Treatment Philosophy

Where you start your cancer care matters!
I am honored to be part of the surgical oncology team providing care for patients with skin cancer (including melanoma, merkel cell carcinoma, advance squamous cell carcinoma), sarcomas, and gastrointestinal cancers. I treasure my relationship with my patients and thrive to provide the very best care for patients who undergo surgery and throughout the rest of their cancer journey. I follow early stage melanoma patients as well as melanoma survivors in the survivor clinic.
