About me
My care begins with listening and guiding my patients through the breast cancer journey. After a diagnosis, many questions and worries can come up. I take time to answer clearly so no one feels rushed or alone. At Dartmouth Cancer Center, I work with a team of experts to offer the best possible care.
It is important to explain what a diagnosis means and help choose treatment options that fit each person’s needs and lifestyle. Each plan is based on evidence and tailored to individual circumstances and goals.
I support clinical trials, which give access to new therapies and help improve care. I am grateful to walk beside patients through every step. My promise is to deliver expert, compassionate care with steady support and honest partnership.
