We post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

As a board-certified medical oncologist and hematologist, I have been passionately dedicated to the study and treatment of blood diseases for well over a decade with a long-standing focus on the care of people with lymphoma. My practice benefits from years of experience that I gained while working at prestigious institutions.

At MSK, I am fortunate to be part of a multidisciplinary team of experts who share a deep commitment to developing effective therapies for all people with lymphoma. Our staff also provides an exceptional level of care and support for every one of our patients from the first point of contact, so that they are never alone during their time at MSK.
I am also deeply involved in conducting patient-centered research. At MSK, we offer one of the largest clinical trial portfolios for people with all types of lymphoma. I am especially interested in understanding how lymphoma interacts with the immune system. If we know how we can harness the immune system to fight lymphoma, we can develop new immunotherapies that can be used alone or in combination.
A lymphoma diagnosis can be overwhelming and terrifying. Most of my patients are naturally concerned about their future. I am convinced that the first step towards cure is defeating fear. That is why my priority is to clear up uncertainties by providing both information and education at every visit. I also believe that each person is unique, and my goal is to offer personalized care plans, while using the most effective and innovative treatments available today.
