Biography
I am a breast cancer surgical oncologist who treats adults with breast cancer, pre-malignant breast disease and benign breast disease.
Some of the treatments I offer include breast conservation, skin-sparing and nipple-sparing mastectomy, sentinel node biopsy and oncoplastic surgery.
I am deeply passionate about supporting my patients throughout their breast cancer diagnosis and treatment journey. As a breast surgeon, I ground my patient care in compassion, precision and collaboration. I understand that every patient’s journey is unique, and I prioritize listening to their concerns, ensuring they feel empowered and informed throughout their care. By combining evidence-based medical practices with a personalized touch, I strive to deliver comprehensive care that addresses my patients' physical and emotional needs.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and spending quality time with friends and family. As a former college tennis player, I continue engaging with the sport on and off the court. I love exploring good food, whether trying a new restaurant or enjoying a homemade meal. Maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle supports my well-being and allows me to provide the best care to my patients.
