About Reema Batra, MD
Cancer can be a challenging time in a patient's life. I believe my role in treating a cancer patient is to provide the most exceptional treatment in addition to guiding the patient through the process. I also believe in health and wellness, and integrating this into the treatment plan. I enjoy the mix of science and personal relationships that medicine brings in allowing me to assist individuals toward optimal health. When I am not working, I enjoy time with my family. I have infant twins and I love to spend my free time with them!
