Philosophy:
The primary obligation of a physician is to relieve human suffering. Physicians and all health care professionals should help people to live their lives to the fullest. As oncologists, we have many tools to assist us: medications, surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and biologic therapy. Our most important tool, however, is the dialogue we share. The face-to-face encounter comes before any of these. The oncology team members are your tour guides for your journey. It is a journey we take together.
