Provider Expertise

Clinical Interest for Patients

I am interested in providing holistic care for our patients and their families. I strive to listen and inform so my patients can make the decision and steer their treatment course. I specialize in head and neck cancer and pancreatic cancer with special emphasis on immunotherapy. I run clinical trials aimed at combining Radiation with immunotherapy and targeted therapeutics to improve outcomes and reduce the side effects.


Care Philosophy

I strive to provide the best care for my patients. I believe in treating the person as a whole, taking every aspect of a patient’s body and health into consideration during diagnosis and treatment.
