Dr. Mehta is a 2018 Seattle Met Top Doctor Award winner. He enjoys working with patients and family members. There are a wide variety of treatment options available for nearly every patient, so it is important to spend as much time as is needed in order to weight the benefits and risks to any particular approach. He feels that it is important that communication is open and honest. The goals of treatment, whether it is going for cure or maximizing quality of life should be openly discussed and re-discussed as the need arises. For more about Dr.
