As a medical oncologist at the OSUCCC – James, I care for patients with solid tumors. I specialize in treating people who have been hospitalized due to complications or who are experiencing serious side effects from their cancer treatments. I also serve as an assistant professor in the Division of Medical Oncology. Cancer cases are complex and require a careful and thoughtful approach. This can be a scary time for patients and I continually strive to provide the most compassionate care possible. I enjoy connecting with patients on a personal level. They can trust me to be their best advocate while they are in the hospital and to always provide effective and honest communication about their care. In addition to my clinical work, I am actively engaged in cancer research. My work has been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals. I have also been honored to present my research at major academic conferences across the country. I am a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and American College of Physicians. The James is an amazing institution committed to providing exemplary patient care with a multidisciplinary approach. We are leading the way in cancer research by conducting innovative trials that will significantly advance the treatments we can provide. It’s inspiring to be part of the cancer treatment team here at The James and to work with specialists who are leaders in their respective fields.
