“A cancer diagnosis, especially in a child, doesn’t solely affect the child, it affects the entire family. I take a family-centered approach to care, built on a foundation of trust, by setting honest and realistic expectations. I strive to support each patient and family, as I would my own, to prepare them for both the current details of treatment as well as providing anticipatory guidance for the future.”
