Bio
I am committed to providing whole-person supportive care that focuses on patients and their families during periods of great stress. I believe that when physical, psychological and spiritual symptoms are all well controlled, concurrently with sometimes aggressive treatment, that patients do better. Great supportive care and compassionate conversations around advance care planning can and should occur along with your treatment to maximize your comfort, and minimize distress.
