Medical Oncology

Following my fellowship at Fox Chase Cancer Center, I joined the staff in 1986. I treat patients with gynecologic cancers and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. My patient-care philosophy is to involve my patient in the decision-making process regarding his or her care to the degree in which he or she wishes to be involved. I like to spend a proper amount of time with my patients so that they fully understand what is involved with their treatment.
