About Me: Q&A
Why Oncology?
After many rewarding years in cardiology, I was drawn to oncology because it allows me to make a meaningful difference during one of the most challenging times in a person's life. Supporting patients and their families with not only medical care, but also education, reassurance, and compassion has made my transition from cardiology care to oncology especially fulfilling.
