It is an honor and privilege to work at an institution such as Fox Chase Cancer Center which dedicates itself to personalized, comprehensive care of its patients. Treatment of cancer is a complicated process which involves the coordination of multiple teams. We are fortunate at Fox Chase Cancer Center to have robust treatment teams in every field of Oncology. I feel that a multidisciplinary team approach is absolutely critical to proper cancer treatment. Every patient is unique, and thus every treatment plan should be appropriately unique and individualized. 

My treatment philosophy is centered on a simple ideology: how would I want my family to be treated? A new cancer diagnosis is undoubtedly scary and stressful. It is my goal during every patient visit to explain concepts thoroughly, create a comfortable environment where questions are answered, and participate in a shared decision-making strategy. I want every patient to leave the office confident knowing they have an entire team supporting them throughout their care and that they are active participants in how they are treated.

I received my medical degree from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and completed my General Surgery training at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. During that time, I spent 2 additional years performing research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center where I fostered skills I use today to design research protocols for diseases I treat. I then completed my Surgical Oncology training at Fox Chase Cancer Center where I am thrilled to currently practice. 

I have dedicated training in minimally invasive and robotic surgical approaches to various cancer types and employ these techniques whenever safe and feasible. My practice is diverse and I treat a variety of cancers including stomach, small bowel, colon, rectal, liver, pancreas, skin, and soft tissue sarcoma. I am also actively involved in research to improve treatment in many of these diseases. I have developed active research protocols to help identify novel treatment approaches in rare cancers such as soft tissue sarcoma.

It is a true honor to treat cancer patients and I am proud to work at a center where compassion, teamwork, and innovation are embodied. It is my number one priority to ensure you receive the highest quality of care.
