Treatment Philosophy
A cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming and life-altering event. I am honored to have the privilege of guiding patients and their families through each step of their care. The rapid pace of oncology research has led to the introduction of many novel and targeted therapies, and I take a collaborative approach to personalizing these treatment options for my patients. I am excited to join a comprehensive and multidisciplinary team at Fox Chase that can support patients and families through their treatment and recovery.
