I believe in care, compassion and patience. I always develop a personal relationship with my patients to better understand unique circumstances and needs of every patient and provide individualized care. Furthermore, as a radiation oncologist, my patients are often in the clinic daily for treatments and I believe in providing a certain level of time and attention to accommodate patients' needs to help them maintain a positive outlook during treatment.
