I am a clinician researcher dedicated to the care and treatment of patients with lymphoma. I was drawn to this area of oncology because of the immense amount of hope we can offer patients; many types of lymphoma are treated with the intent to cure, and we frequently have a variety of treatment choices available, including clinical trials. While coming to an oncology office will always feel overwhelming at first, I strive to offer clear communication about a patient's disease and treatment so they feel comfortable and confident in our care plan. Oncology is a field with strong physician-patient relationships, and I value this opportunity to get to know all my patients well.

We have an incredible multidisciplinary team to support our patients at Wilmot, ranging from a large clinical trial office, to specialized nursing and advanced practice providers, to radiation oncologists, pathologists and dermatologists with expertise in lymphoma. We work together to assure that the entire patient experience is a positive one.

As a native of Upstate NY, I am proud to walk into Wilmot and know that we are providing our patients with world-class care, close to home.

Diseases I Treat:

Lymphoma, with a focus on nodal and cutaneous T-cell lymphomas
CAR T-cell and other cellular therapy
