About me

Breast cancer is unique because many people feel completely fine when they receive a diagnosis. They are busy going about their lives when this unwelcome and unexpected diagnosis suddenly arrives. The good news is that we have excellent treatments for breast cancer.

I help my patients and their families navigate through the science and emotions of breast cancer. I keep up to date on the latest scientific advances. I strive to make sure my patients feel listened to and cared for every step of the way. Together, with my fantastic team of experienced and compassionate providers, we treat the whole patient.

I have very long-term relationships with many of my patients. I appreciate getting to know them and the things that are most important to them. I love to talk about outdoor sports and am thrilled when my patients take up a new activity or join a community activity that promotes exercise.

I’m honored to be able to help my patients through challenging decisions and treatments. I am motivated and inspired every day by their strength and resiliency.
