“Getting to know our patients on a personal level is important to providing excellent, individualized care.”

— Amy


What do you hope it’s like for a patient to work with you?

I enjoy getting to know patients, learning what’s important to them and helping them to achieve their goals. Everyone’s experience is unique, and I hope to support them through their treatment with compassion and respect. 

What do you value about your work?

It is rewarding to develop close partnerships and care for those experiencing a vulnerable period in their lives. I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in care that is truly innovative and standard setting.
