BIO
I've been a member of the Division of Surgical Oncology since 2011, with a research interest in survivorship and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. With a clinical focus on breast cancer, my specialty is the surgical treatment of both benign and malignant breast conditions, including procedures such as oncoplastic breast conservation and nipple-sparing mastectomy.
As a recipient of the American Society of Clinical Oncology Breast Merit Award, I feel that communication, from diagnosis through a survivorship care plan, is vital to a positive experience for the patient.
