Summary
- As a Surgical Oncologist, I treat all solid tumor malignancies. My special interests include breast, melanoma and other skin cancers, soft tissue sarcomas, and colorectal cancers. I take pride in staying current with advances in chemotherapy/radiation therapy as those discussions often begin in my office. As a general surgeon, I am skilled in current minimally invasive procedures. I strive to provide highly professional and personalized care to my patients and their families. My office provides flexible scheduling for patient convenience and to minimize wait times for consultation and surgery. I have practiced in the valley for over 25 years.
