As a Heme Onc Hospitalist I care for patients coming to the hospital with complications from their cancer or cancer related treatments. This often involves infection, uncontrolled symptoms, pain management and end of life care. I work closely with the patient’s primary hematologist or oncologist as well as the palliative care team. I feel it is paramount to provide all patients - particularly those going through something as challenging as cancer - with a strong, supportive and compassionate team and I am proud to be a part of that.CredentialsSpecialtiesEducation2016MD | Medical University Of The Americas-Nevis (West Indies)Post-doctoral Training & Residency06/16/2016 - 06/28/2020Residency in Internal Medicine at Rochester General Hospital
