Norris Cotton Cancer Center North in St. Johnsbury, VT, is a dedicated cancer care and survivorship facility. It provides patients in New Hampshire's North Country and Vermont's Northeast Kingdom with advanced technology and state-of-the-art treatment within a friendly, patient-centered environment.

When my youngest sibling was 9 and I was in medical school, my mother died of colorectal cancer. She was 53. It was then that I realized how beneficial improved cancer care could befor both patients and their families. Now, as a radiation oncologist, my team and I provide compassionate, complete cancer care. My goal is to return patients to the life they enjoyed before their cancer diagnosis. I treat sarcomas, which mostly appear in the extremities, so when patients regain function in their treated arms or legs, Im satisfied. Curing patients is remarkably gratifying.
