Clinical Interests
My clinical interests revolve around the care of patients with all types of lymphoproliferative disorders, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), indolent B-cell lymphoma, aggressive B-cell lymphoma, as well as other types of lymphoma.

Care Philosophy
I am keen to provide the best clinical care possible for patients with all of types of lymphoma. I believe that it is imperative to understand each patient and their disease to the greatest extent possible in order to provide the right treatment for the right person at the right time.
