“When I finished medical school, I wanted nothing more than to take care of patients. My sister was a doctor and she inspired me to go into the medical profession.

When it comes to the fight against cancer, people deserve the best possible chance for hope... and survival. I’ve joined this fight and I’m determined to play a role in changing and improving cancer treatment. But what I am most proud of is building this center to help people win their battle against cancer... and doing it with careful attention to their individual needs and heartfelt dedication to helping them achieve good outcomes.

This is about people — people who deserve the best care I have to give. I don’t ever want to stop serving people this way.”

“I originally planned to practice ob/gyn but changed during my residency. I saw a great need for help in radiation oncology.

People who face cancer are usually quite fearful. They need information. They need hope. Most of all, they need all the help and support we can provide. We are very caring here. We treat every person as a whole human being and as part of our family. We spend whatever time it takes to help them feel comfortable and answer all their questions. That’s partly why we have a reputation for giving the best customer service.

We are here to serve people who need us. That’s also why we see all people – regardless of the type of cancer they have been diagnosed with. We really want to help everyone.”
