Philosophy of Care

Cancer care begins with the patient. My compassionate, patient-driven focus is to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art treatment of the highest quality nature. My goals are to utilize the latest evidence-based medicine, directed in a multi-disciplinary fashion to fully optimize each individual patient’s oncologic outcome. At Minnesota Oncology, we offer the ability to participate in multiple clinical trials. This offers not only the ability for enrollment of patients in need, but potentially enhances the treatment for our patients of the future.

Personal

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than coming home at the end of a busy work day to my sweet family. My husband and I were overjoyed to be offered the opportunity to move back to our home state, so that we could provide medical care to the best of our abilities to the wonderful people of Minnesota.

My husband and I love attending Twins games, Vikings games and other professional and amateur sporting events. We also enjoy spending time with our families in greater Minnesota.

I personally enjoy attending musicals, the opera and choral performances. I love the ability to relief stress through exercise, specifically running. I love anything to do with water sports and swimming.
