Thoracic and Cardiac
Board Certified
I treat my patients the way I would want to be treated or would want my family members to be cared for. It is very important to me that patients understand their medical conditions and the options for treatment and the implications of those treatments on their lives.
I am passionate about the care of lung cancer patients and the ways that patient outcomes are influenced by stigma, health systems and other human factors. My clinical interests include surgery for lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies including mesothelioma, thymoma, thymic cancer and esophageal cancer.
