PHILOSOPHY OF CARE
I strive to provide the best possible treatment for each patient based on their individual needs. Undergoing a neurosurgical operation can be a frightening and life-changing experience. Every patient is unique with their own goals, expectations, and concerns. I utilize a personalized, multi-disciplinary approach combining surgery, radiation, and drug therapy as appropriate for each patient, based on the highest quality evidence and cutting-edge science. My goal is to provide the safest and most effective care for my patients.
​
There is no such thing as an untreatable tumor. Surgery may not be the right treatment for everyone, but quality of life and symptom management can always be addressed. I focus on the patient, not the tumor.
