    I was the youngest in a family of five and the only girl. Growing up in Jamaica, I was into sports, climbing trees and practicing to be a doctor. I used to compound flowers and herbals to make “medicine.” I’d keep it into a little bottle and administer it with a spoon to treat my dogs if they looked poorly. I have known since I was 3 years old that I wanted to care for children. I love that they’re so honest. When they feel better, you know it. Their perspective on life is enviable. Children really live each moment that they’re alive. They inspire me. I am passionate about searching for better ways to treat children with chronic diseases that affect them every day and find cures. This includes nonmalignant conditions like sickle cell disease that impact quality of life and longevity. I try to make a difference by being really parent-accessible and education-friendly. When parents and patients understand what I understand, they can fully cooperate in making treatment successful.I know that my patients need me to be as authentic as possible. Kids can pick out an adult who’s not being genuine with them. So I try always to put myself in their position, understand where they’re coming from and move from there to where we want to go.

    I’m married with three children. I decided on a career in medicine because really enjoy making people feel better. One of my proudest moments has been becoming a parent, and that has given me a different perspective on what our patients and their families go through. I’m passionate about doing everything I can to help kids grow into healthy, and hopeful, adults. I received a letter from an oncology patient who has been my patient for three years. She told me that I am her hero, and because of her experience, she wants to be a pediatric oncologist, too. That letter stays above my desk to remind me of why I do what I do. I am also very interested in helping to train the next generation of excellent, caring physicians, so in addition to my main interests of hematology and oncology, my medical interests include medical education.

    "I’m a pediatric oncologist (cancer specialist) based at the Nemours Children’s Specialty Care, Jacksonville. I’m a triathlete, married with three children, with an interest in finding ways to constantly improve cancer care for children. We returned to Florida, my home state, after travelling the country to complete my medical training. While I was growing up, my mother worked in an OB/GYN office, so I always said I wanted to do the same """"because I love to work with kids."""" At that time, nobody explained to me that OB/GYNs treat women and it’s really pediatricians who treat kids. By medical school, it was clear pediatrics was what I was interested in. I love the personal interactions with families during some of their happiest and also most difficult times. I find the clinical aspects and science behind oncology fascinating. I specialize in cancer care for children and try to find ways to improve the care they receive. I am currently leading the expansion of our treatment protocols for relapsed disease so patients can have more aggressive options if their cancer returns.".

    What is the definition of Hemoglobin E Disease?

    Hemoglobin E (HbE) disease is a mild, inherited blood disorder characterized by an abnormal form of hemoglobin, called hemoglobin E. People with this condition may have very mild anemia, but the condition typically does not cause any symptoms. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and is caused by a genetic change in the HBB gene. The genetic change that causes Hemoglobin E disease primarily occurs in Southeast Asian populations, and rarely in Chinese populations.

    When should I see a Hemoglobin E Disease doctor in Florida, US?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Hemoglobin E Disease doctor in Florida, US?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Hemoglobin E Disease doctors in Florida, US?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Hemoglobin E Disease doctors in Florida, US?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Hemoglobin E Disease doctor in Florida, US?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Hemoglobin E Disease doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Hemoglobin E Disease doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Hemoglobin E Disease doctor in Florida, US?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Hemoglobin E Disease doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Hemoglobin E Disease doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Hemoglobin E Disease doctors in Florida, US?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Hemoglobin E Disease doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Hemoglobin E Disease doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Hemoglobin E Disease doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
