I strive to understand every patient in their life context and invite them to actively participate in their care journey with informed decisions. Patients come from diverse backgrounds with cultural beliefs, values, and traditions which influence decisions about their health. I aim to discuss and explain information in clear and accessible language to everyone, regardless of prior knowledge or health literacy. A brain tumor diagnosis is life-altering 鈥� my goal is to alleviate the physical as well as emotional impact on my patient and their loved ones. I partner with and advocate for my patients alongside our outstanding multidisciplinary team to provide seamless, comprehensive care.
