To ensure the accuracy of our patient satisfaction scores, we require that providers who see patients receive a minimum number of completed patient-submitted surveys before their reviews are listed on their profiles. Star ratings on this site are collected on a rolling basis from the previous 12 months.
Additionally, some of the physicians listed on our site do not see patients directly, and therefore, do not receive evaluation and ratings from patients.

Treatment Philosophy

I am honored to be part of the Gynecologic Oncology team at Fox Chase Cancer Center. I chose this field because I believe caring for patients with gynecologic cancers requires not only medical expertise but also genuine compassion and understanding. My goal is to provide the kind of care I would want for my own loved ones—treatment that is thorough, individualized, and delivered with kindness.

As a gynecologic oncologist, I specialize in both the surgical and medical management of cancers of the uterus, cervix, ovary, vulva, and vagina. I work closely with each patient to develop treatment plans that reflect their personal values and priorities. I also collaborate with colleagues in radiation oncology and palliative care to ensure that every patient receives comprehensive, well-rounded care.

At Fox Chase, I am grateful to be part of a center that offers not only cutting-edge surgical and medical treatments, but also a wealth of resources designed to support patients and families through every stage of their journey. I recognize that a cancer diagnosis affects not just the patient, but their entire support system. My goal is to provide care that is compassionate, honest, and empowering—helping patients and their families navigate complex decisions with clarity and confidence. Above all, I am committed to walking alongside my patients every step of the way, so they never feel alone in their care.
