Philosophy of Care
My chief at MD Anderson Cancer Center would say, “A great oncologist lives at the intersection of great science and great compassion.” I have used those words to guide my personal career as an oncologist and with the cancer programs that I have helped develop. The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at PSMC consistently strives to live at that sacred intersection with unyielding dedication to the people who trust us with their lives.
