Favorite Part of the Job
As a board-certified veterinary medical oncologist, I find deep fulfillment in the close bonds I form with my patients and their families while guiding them through cancer treatment. I am also proud to contribute to the broader fight against cancer through participation in clinical trials in translational oncology, advancing care for both pets and people.
Why do you choose ImpriMed services as a routine part of your practice?
I think personalized medicine is the way of the future. Being able to say, this is the weak spot of your cancer, we’re going to exploit that and not give it any chance to come back? That’s the goal. If we can avoid drugs that don’t work, we should. If we can identify better working drugs, we should.
