Care Philosophy
I strive to provide the best patient care to those individuals interested in learning if the cancer in their family is due to an inherited predisposition. I believe that knowledge is power, and my goal is to empower patients with knowledge and information, so that they can make informed medical decisions regarding their healthcare.
