About me

Meeting cancer patients and hearing their stories motivated me to become a radiation oncologist. I first fell in love with the field while working as a hospital administrator. The dedication and passion required for the study of oncology astounded and inspired me. Today, I use my radiation oncology and brachytherapy expertise to offer new treatment options to my patients. I am here to ensure that they receive exceptional care.

I focus on the patient experience. A major part of my job is providing the information patients need to feel positive about their choices and the treatment process. My ultimate goals are to make my patients' cancer care as smooth as possible while giving them an opportunity to live long, happy lives.
