Treatment Philosophy

I was excited to return to Philadelphia to join the Fox Chase Cancer Center in 2015 after completing my fellowship in medical oncology at Dana Farber Cancer Institute/Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA. From the moment I walked in to Fox Chase for the first time, every person I met was incredibly caring and dedicated to providing thoughtful, comprehensive, compassionate care for every patient and family. I knew I would fit right in.

I wanted to be an oncologist starting in medical school. I was struck by the profound responsibility we have as physicians to patients and their families facing illness of any kind: our responsibility to explain illness, to obtain the knowledge to provide the best, most up-to-date treatments available, to know our patients, to ask the right questions, and above all, to listen. I was particularly inspired and humbled by my patients with cancer and their families as I accompanied them on their cancer journey, and knew immediately that I wanted to dedicate my career to being an oncologist.

Within oncology, I specialize in lung cancer and head and neck cancer. In both of these fields, there are exciting advances in our understanding of how these cancers form and how they respond to new, innovative treatments. My research interest is in optimizing supportive care, communication, and quality of life for patients and their families facing cancer, while simultaneously providing state of the art cancer treatments. Additionally, I am interested in developing educational tools that help patients and families better understand cancer and treatments as well as help with symptom management, mood, and satisfaction with care.
