Experienced in Ovarian Carcinosarcoma

Overview

Philosophy of care | I want to help my patients enjoy life. I'm a person who cares about them as people, not just as patients. A cancer diagnosis can be a roller coaster for patients; being there for them gives me intense satisfaction and happiness. Also, I am a member of the breast cancer multidisciplinary consultation team. Together we review your diagnostic information and give you a written opinion reflecting the scope of your condition and recommendations for your best course of care. | Why I entered medicine | I always wanted to help and take care of others. I felt that being a physician would give me that opportunity. So, I wanted to be a physician right from childhood. | Community involvement | I am involved with raising awareness of cancer, especially cancer screening in the community. | Personal interests | I enjoy listening to music, reading and spending time with my family.
