Summary

  • I am a conventionally trained and Board Certified gynecologic oncologist and Partner at Tennessee Oncology, the largest oncology practice in the state, specializing in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of all gynecologic malignancies. I employ multidisciplinary approaches including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, molecular and genetic profiling, targeted biologic agents, and access to vanguard clinical trials at the Sarah Cannon Research Institute. I have a special interest in integrative and holistic approaches to restore and maintain general health, which I believe result in lowered morbidity and improved outcomes when used alongside traditional treatment methods. These include nutrition, mind-body, and lifestyle measures which are individualized to each person. I am particularly attentive to prevent, minimize, and/or restore the sexual dysfunctions that gynecologic cancer and its treatment can create. I use HIPPA compliant Doximity to accept, communicate with, and update referring physicians in real time time regarding their
    patients.
