About me
The field of neuro-oncology allows me to merge my passion for helping people with my interest in solving puzzles. Neuro-oncology involves combining cutting-edge, evidence-based medical treatments with compassion and understanding. My patients inspire me with their strength and resilience when facing a life-changing diagnosis. I’m honored that people trust me to care for them.
At Dartmouth Health, patients have access to the latest research and clinical trials. This helps my patients and can also help improve the care for others with similar health issues. It’s great to work somewhere where people have so many ideas for improving cancer care. Everything we do is with the goal of providing thoughtful, personal care to help our patients get the best results.
