As a former graduate of Temple University School of Medicine, I am excited to come back to the Philadelphia area.  I believe that a cancer institute should have a strong presence in clinical research.  I came to Fox Chase Cancer Center as I am excited about the resources and clinical trial access patient's have at their fingertips.  My approach is to work as a team with my multidisciplinary colleagues.  I strive to listen to each patient as each patient is unique with a unique diagnosis.  It is my responsibility to better understand patient's wishes and concerns guiding them to make informed treatment decisions that's best for their care.  I am committed to not only providing standard treatment options, but also providing experimental therapies that clinical trial research allows in the advancement of medicine.  There are many options available to patients and it's my job to assist with these decisions.  Truly, this is an exciting time to be a physician in hematology/medical oncology.

In addition to my clinical duties, I am dedicated to the teaching of medical students, residents, and fellows.  I am extremely grateful of the opportunity to give back to the medical community.
