Clinical Interests
I specialize in the use of bone marrow transplantation and therapies for children and young adults. I'm primarily interested in treating patients with non-malignant diseases, including immune dysregulation disorders, bone marrow failure syndromes, immunodeficiencies and autoimmune diseases.
Care Philosophy
I'm committed to providing compassionate, high-quality, patient-centered care as part of a patient's team.
