Clinical Interests
I am interested in Phase 1 Clinical Trials with Special Emphasis on Acute Leukemias/Bone Marrow Transplant and Cell Therapies.
Care Philosophy
I believe that each patient and each family require an individual approach appropriate to the needs and situation being faced. I work hard to ensure that the best and most complete information is available and try to work toward solutions and plans that meet people at the level at which they are most comfortable. I believe in a team-based approach that brings the best minds and ideas together to find the best options available.
