To get a clear explanation of their diagnosis that’s communicated directly to them and the family members that are present. My goal is to alleviate the fear of the unknown while explaining treatment options.

I believe clear communication and trust is most important in the doctor-patient relationship. It is important to clearly understand the patient's goals, needs and concerns about their treatment so I can most effectively take care of them.

I have four daughters and they take up most of my spare time. I enjoy watching my daughter participate in multiple activities including basketball, soccer, track and gymnastics. I also like to exercise at the gym, run outside with my girls, or read a good novel.

It is most rewarding when a patient has a great response to treatment. I pray that even my sickest patients can have some quality time with their families.
