I feel priv­i­leged to help peo­ple and fam­i­lies through some of their most dif­fi­cult times. I think com­plete can­cer care encom­pass­es not only treat­ing the malig­nan­cy, but also guid­ing the patient and their loved ones through the chal­leng­ing journey.

Sep­tem­ber is prostate can­cer aware­ness month. Since prostate can­cer is the sec­ond most com­mon form of can­cer in men, start­ing at age 45 for those at an increased risk and age 50 for those at an aver­age risk, screen­ing options are avail­able to help catch can­cer at an ear­ly stage. Take charge of your health and sched­ule with your pri­ma­ry care provider to dis­cuss fam­i­ly his­to­ry and risk fac­tors to deter­mine if screen­ing is right for you.
