Compassionate Evidence-Based Ethical Cancer Care
docvivek@gmail.com
An evaluation or diagnosis of cancer can be extremely challenging for a patient and their family.
Too much conflicting information available on the internet today also confuses the picture.
My aim is to provide compassionate, evidence-based and ethical care which is specifically tailored to each patients individual circumstances.
