From the Doctor
Living close to the ocean has always been a dream of mine, and my husband and our two sons enjoy spending time outdoors and playing sports like basketball and tennis.
What has guided my practice over the years is serving as an advocate for my patients. I believe in educating them about the latest, evidence-based treatments and sharing in their treatment goals. I consider it a privilege to share in their cancer journey.
I’ve participated in the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk and in community outreach programs that promote breast health and breast cancer prevention.
