"The vision that allowed me to start Women´s Cancer and Surgical Care was that one of complete dedication to patient care by a combination of compassion with a sense of a moral mission to help others while providing the most up to date clinical care for their medical conditions. I envisioned providing care to women throughout our region from southern Colorado to El Paso, Texas. I feel privileged to be able to help our patients, work with such an outstanding group of physicians and staff and live in beautiful New Mexico with my family."
