The diagnosis of head and neck cancer can be overwhelming for patients and families. I believe that every patient deserves compassionate and comprehensive care with a clear and detailed explanation of all available treatment options. I personally strive to help each patient navigate these complex treatment decisions as an individual, to enable them to make the best choices for themselves and their families. Our multi-disciplinary management team offers truly comprehensive cancer care, to achieve the best possible outcomes of cancer treatment, to optimize function and quality of life after therapy, and provide the needed support in the months and years that follow.
