“I love the bond I develop with patients & their loved ones during most challenging time of their lives. It becomes the most humbling experience for me to join them on this journey as their care giver. I start every day of my professional life as a battle to fight and conquer cancer to help my patients defeat this enemy. I always keep myself up to date on latest data as I owe it to my patients in this ever evolving field of oncology. I strongly believe in the philosophy of shared decision making. Together with my patients and their families, we make a care plan based on clinical evidence that balances risks and expected outcomes with patient’s values preferences in mind."
