I am an oncology hospitalist who specializes in treating patients who have been hospitalized with complications from solid cancers or the side effects of cancer treatments. I received my doctorate in medicine from Wright State University and have been working as a hospitalist for over 15 years. I have great compassion and empathy for cancer patients and want to provide them with their general medicine needs while undergoing treatment or any other acute medical problems that requires hospitalization. My main focus is on controlling patients’ symptoms through things like pain management, comfort and emotional support. In addition to my clinical work, I serve as an assistant professor of internal medicine in the Department of Medical Oncology at The Ohio State University and as a member of the American Board of Internal Medicine.
