Provider Background
Area of clinical practice
Lung cancer early detection and prevention
Teaching others about health, wellness and prevention continues to be central to my mission in the care I provide. With lung cancer screening, eligible patients benefit from early detection in hopes of early diagnosis and improved survival. In my experiences, I have witnessed the power of early detection, motivating me to continue my focus in this area as well as in lung cancer care.
