When we meet, we will work together to come up with goals based on the available scientific evidence, your overall clinical picture, and your preferences or wishes. When devising our care plan for you, we adhere to three major goals or tenets

We want to care we provide to be in line with national quality guidelines, evidence based, and for you to have access to exciting, innovative therapies. We are actively involved on the national level as clinical researchers and as leaders in our field. Therefore, we have an ear to the ground for the latest and greatest new treatments. By offering access to a robust clinical trials program, we hope that many of our patients will be able to benefit from the newest, most cutting-edge treatment options available. We have initiated a variety of local projects, collaborating with other regional healthcare providers, aimed at encouraging quality and evidence based gynecologic cancer care here in Louisiana. We hope that by providing access to new, exciting treatments and encouraging evidence based care, we can help to raise the bar for women's cancer care on the Gulf Coast.

We want to treat you like a family member. Cancer care is often stressful and confusing. We know how we'd want someone to treat us or a loved one - with compassion and open communication. No one wants to feel alone rushed or brushed off as they go through this journey. We want you to leave every encounter with us feeling like you were genuinely cared for.

We want the care we provide to be patient centered. That means we will take a team approach with you at the center and as the most important team member. We would like to design an ultimate care plan that is 100% aligned with your personal goals. It is important that you are and feel that you are heard. We want to have a full understanding of your worries and concerns; similarly, we want you to have a full understanding of your condition and treatment options. Different women choose different treatment approaches after weighing all of the risks and benefits. We want to arm you with the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision.
