I do head and neck surgical oncology and microvascular reconstruction here at UVA. I see a variety of patients with both benign and cancerous diseases of the head and neck region. This includes cancers or lesions of the mouth, tongue, throat, voice box, tonsil area, as well as salivary glands, thyroid and skin cancers. My interest in medicine was piqued early on when I experienced one of my own family members getting healthcare and seeing the amount of compassion that the providers had for her and seeing how much of an impact that could make on both the patients' lives as well as their family members. • I feel strongly about educating patients and spend a lot of time during my visits talking about the disease processes, what to expect, what treatment options are out there, and I encourage patients to be advocates for themselves and take ownership of their treatments. Patients should come to UVA for treatment of their head and neck cancers because we offer a variety of expertise in multiple disciplines and incorporate input from many experts to provide comprehensive care to patients. We also provide a centered approach that takes into account a patient's specific type of cancer, their stage, as well as their goals of treatment.
