“As the daughter of a cancer survivor, I know how important it is to have a strong relationship with their physician. Knowing that your physician is highly trained and able to bring the most up to date treatment is an essential aspect of your care. I enjoy working with patients, listening to them, providing education to understand and tackle their illness, in order to provide care with compassion, and to treat each person as an individual. I am constantly amazed at the strength and resilience of patients and their families through this difficult time. Working with Epic Care has allowed me to provide every patient with a knowledgeable and comprehensive team approach to support and care for them throughout their illness and beyond. Meeting a patient and then getting to know them over the following years has truly been an honor.”
