I joined Fox Chase Cancer Center's medical oncology staff as a neuro-oncologist in 2008.

The biggest thing for me is to provide comprehensive care to my patients and their families. The diagnosis of a brain tumor is a devastating moment in their lives, and I want them to know that I will be there for them. I am always open to questions. I will take as long as they need to answer their concerns.

My philosophy is to give top quality patient care both to improve the length of a patient’s life and also the quality of life. That is critical in my eyes.

Neuro-oncology, to me, includes not only those patients with devastating brain tumors but also those other patients with cancer who have neurologic problems. This could be either as a result of the cancer itself or as a result of the necessary treatments they are getting. Diagnosing and helping their oncologists find the origins of these problems and reducing their impact on the cancer patients' quality of life is another aspect of my job I enjoy.
