“I believe an ideal provider/patient relationship should be built on mutual trust and respect,” he says. “Cancer is not an easy diagnosis to get. As a provider, my responsibility is to listen and clarify the picture for the patient and make sure my patient is involved in the decision-making process. More importantly, my patient should feel that we are a team and will walk through this together.”
