Breast and gynecologic medical oncologist, Valley Health System, New Jersey, US

“I am passionate about women’s health and believe that empowering women to truly understand their diagnosis is critical, whether it’s breast cancer or a benign but high-risk diagnosis from a breast biopsy. I am inspired every day by the incredible women I have the privilege of treating.”

“Cancer is a life-changing diagnosis, and I am humbled every day by the ability to impact my patients’ lives as they go through treatment. Furthermore, I am driven by the treatment advances that have occurred in oncology in the last decades. Patients are living longer, diagnosed earlier, and have a higher quality of life during treatment.”
