It is my belief that many factors influence our decisions in life, and we must consider the whole person when determining how to best help patients. This includes their cultural and spiritual beliefs, as well as physical and emotional issues.

I feel this specialty chose me. My background in pharmacy and pharmacology fits well into symptom management and, as a former hospitalist, I understand that medical care and the health care system can be complex to navigate. It is my goal to assist patients and their families -- and to understand each patient as a person -- before trying to make any recommendations about care. I also find satisfaction in providing compassionate care when helping people through difficult discussions.

My expertise and area of special interest is in pharmacology and how medications interact with each other and with the medical conditions that arise throughout life. I am also the Hospice Medical Director for Ontario and Yates Counties.

Conditions I Treat:

- Palliative care for all cancers
- End-of-life and hospice care for all cancers

Ratings & Comments

At URMC, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their personal healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used to generate this vital information.
