Meet Susan

I am an established physician with over 20 years of experience in oncology-hematology. I am driven by the bonds I build with my patients. This relationship helps me personalize their needs and goals into their treatment plan. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son, listening to music, traveling and spending time outdoors.
