I am a board certified oncologist/hematologist who has been practicing for more than 20 years. I believe in discussing different options of treatment with patients and help them make an informed decision about their care. I am respectful of the choices patients make. Engaging family members in patient care is also very important to me as cancer affects the whole family. I usually will explore other option including clinical trials for the patient. Optimizing patient quality of life with improving their overall outcome is vitally important to me.

January is cervical cancer awareness month. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women, but did you know it’s also preventable? Through regular cervical cancer screenings and vaccination, you can help significantly lower your risk for developing cervical cancer. Schedule your annual well women’s exam with your Duly OBGYN to discuss your risk factors and family history.
