Specialty Information

Specialties
  • Pediatric Hematology / Oncology, Board Certification
Clinical Interests
My clinical and laboratory interests are in the area of leukemia and in using the immune system to treat cancer, whether that be through bone marrow transplantation or cellular immunotherapy.

Care Philosophy
My care philosophy is to, first and foremost, be honest and forthright with information. I believe that it only in this way that parents and patients can make the best decisions about their care. I also try to engage both the family and the patient in the decision making process when it is possible and appropriate.

Personal Interests
I enjoy spending time watching my kids play hockey and lacrosse. I also enjoy listening to great music and eating good food.
