Treatment Philosophy

I began working at Fox Chase in 2006 in the Division of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery.  Before coming to Fox Chase, I spent 4 years working at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX also in Reconstructive Plastic Surgery.

My focus since starting my career in medicine has been in helping patients that have been diagnosed with cancer.  My area of specialty is in reconstruction and I truly enjoy being able to help restore a patient’s appearance and function after cancer surgery.  In our practice, we treat patients who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, head and neck cancers, melanoma, lymphedema as well as many other forms of cancers.

Through a multi-specialty team approach, I believe we are able to provide patients with the best possible care available.  I value my role on that team in providing that care and support to our patients as they travel through their cancer diagnosis.
