Taking care of patients with cancer and blood disorders is an honor and a privilege. Now more than ever, it is important to empower patients to understand the complex array of treatment options available to them. I strive to help patients and their families navigate the physical, mental and emotional challenges that accompany a cancer diagnosis - while providing personalized, comprehensive and compassionate care.
