Philosophy of Care
As a prostate cancer survivor myself, I know on a very personal level how difficult and frightening this diagnosis can be. But while prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, it is also the most treatable. I use my experience and perspective to approach and treat every patient like a family member and help them during this often emotional time.
