Radiation Oncology/Breast Cancer Specialist

Med school: University of Massachussetts Medical School

Years in practice: 20 years

I wanted to be a doctor since I was 5 years old! inspired me to be a doctor.

I love my specialty because: I help some of the greatest women imaginable at a very stressful time in their lives.

My best day on the job so far was when: our first day at our new practice – everything was perfect! A long-term dream came to fruition.

My worst day on the job so far was when: a computer upgrade failed and we were unable to treat anyone all day.

If I weren’t a doctor, I would be: a bartender in the Caribbean.

When I’m not working, I love to: be a mom to my girls Ali (4) and Katie (11), hike and cook.

I should know better as a doctor, but I just can’t help indulging in: chocolate and wine

If I could change anything about health care, I would: provide
catastrophic coverage for everyone.

Medical marijuana: Yay or nay? Yay

If my patients could describe me in three words, they’d say I am:
accessible, compassionate and warm.

Best TV medical drama ever: MASH!
