Overview

As a pathologist, my job is to provide accurate, timely diagnoses for my patients. I believe in an interdisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment, and am lucky to have fantastic colleagues across all disciplines here at CHW.  I have a special interest in fine needle aspiration biopsy, a less invasive way to obtain tumor tissue for diagnosis and special studies, and I am excited to help this program grow and provide this new service for our patients.
