I believe in treating patients how I would want my own family members to be treated. I view it as my role to educate patients about their treatment options and to help them to make thoughtful decisions regarding their health. I also work to identify pathways to reduce healthcare disparities, improve data driven robotic surgical education for trainees and improve molecular diagnostic testing for non-small cell lung cancer.
