Care Philosophy

I believe in taking care of cancer patients with a very holistic approach, by not only treating the disease, but also addressing their emotional, spiritual and psychological needs. My personal care philosophy is to provide patients with support and resources they need, while trying to ensure that their experience is customized, comprehensive and compassionate.
