As a palliative care provider, I treat symptoms related to any type of cancer. I am very patient centered and enjoy helping patients feel better. I am an expert in the use of opioids for the treatment of chronic pain and have given multiple lectures on this subject. I am also board certified in anesthesiology, multidisciplinary pain medicine and palliative care medicine. My goal is to determine the best course of action in any treatment plan by balancing the available treatment options with my patients' preferences. Conditions I Treat: Pain management; Palliative care for all cancers
