“During my fellowship, I gained unique training in laparoscopy and robotics, which allows me to optimize patient outcomes. Particularly with a cancer diagnosis, shared decision making is a centerpiece of my practice. I strive to offer the best possible care that fits the patient’s condition and circumstances. Additionally, I humbly accept the challenge a cancer diagnosis brings to the patient and their family,” added Dr. Lester.
