I am a board-certified, fellowship-trained surgical oncologist dedicated to the surgical treatment of gastrointestinal malignancies, including gastric, small bowel, colon, rectum, liver, pancreas, biliary, and peritoneal cancers. I also treat endocrine and soft tissue malignancies, including cancers of the thyroid and parathyroid as well as sarcoma and melanoma. I am specifically interested in minimally invasive approaches to the surgical treatment of cancers, with a focus on robotics, and have extensive experience with advanced therapies for peritoneal surface malignancies, including heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (“HIPEC”).
As a member of St. Luke’s multi-disciplinary cancer team, I believe in an individualized approach to each patient that focuses on comprehensive care for their medical and surgical needs. Likewise, I take pride in a personal approach to my patients, providing support for the symptoms and stresses that come with a diagnosis of cancer.
Outside of the hospital, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors, reading, crafting, and spending time with my loving family.
“In reference #13 - I have a long case hx. This dr. obviously read about me before seeing me. I appreciate that she did, rather than read & try to talk with me at the same time.”
