I chose to become a doctor because medicine is fascinating and the human body is incredible to study. My philosophy to patient care includes remembering that a patient is a human being and not a number. I aim to educate and support our patients through clear and timely communication with them and family members, and I also treat them with compassion and respect. My areas of clinical interest include blood (leukemia and lymphoma) and gastrointestinal (liver, pancreas and stomach) cancers.
