Summary

As a pediatric neuro-oncologist, I take care of children with brain and spinal cord tumors.  Brain tumors are among the most challenging cancers to treat in children.  I work together with a highly specialized team of pediatric specialists and neurosurgeons to ensure that each patient receives the best possible, comprehensive care.
