Get to Know Me

I’m a hematologist and medical oncologist who specializes in treating people for many types of blood cancers. This includes:

I’m an expert in caring for people with blood cancers who need blood or bone marrow stem cell transplants. I see patients at the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Clear and honest communication is at the core of my practice. I’ll talk with you and your family about complex health information in a simple, compassionate way. I want you to be able to fully understand your diagnosis, treatment options, and predicted outcomes (results).

When we have this kind of open communication, it helps lower anxiety. It gives you the information you need to make informed choices with confidence. I want to make sure you feel supported, heard, and comfortable asking questions during treatment. I’ll work closely with you and your family to talk about treatment options. I’ll answer questions and learn about your preferences and values.

As a member of the Adult Bone Marrow Transplantation Service, I’m part of a group of many experts. I’m fortunate to share my practice with excellent nurses, advance practice providers, nurse coordinators, social workers, and case managers. Together, we’ll give you the best care possible.

I participate in research studies, known as clinical trials, researching ways to improve results for people having transplants. I study ways to reduce side effects of transplant while keeping treatment results the same. I also study ways to improve the success of transplants. I’m researching how we can improve your health condition before a transplant, and monitor you better after the transplant.
