Philosophy of Care

It is a great privilege to care for cancer patients. Each patient is very special, with individual needs, priorities and wishes. They should be given the best information in order to have a full understanding of their disease and state-of-the-art treatment options.

My goal is to serve my patients during this difficult time, provide them with this knowledge, and assist them in making decisions that help achieve their goals.
