Bio
I am actively engaged in diagnostic evaluation of patient samples as a part of the multi- disciplinary clinical team treating patients. It is my goal to render not only the most accurate diagnosis but also to provide up-to-date information that helps my clinical colleagues take the best possible care of the patient. My clinical work involves diagnostic evaluation of various solid and hematologic disorders including malignancies.
I have an extensive background in anatomic and clinical pathology through training with expertise in cytopathology and hematology.
