Overview

As a medical oncologist, I care for patients throughout their cancer journey, offering a combination of compassionate care and cutting-edge expertise. My areas of expertise include CART, allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplants and hematologic malignancies, with focus on lymphomas. I am committed to providing compassionate and innovative care to my patients. Throughout my career, I have held several academic positions, including Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and acting Clinical Instructor at the University of Washington Medical Center. My dedication to medical research and education is evident in my publications in medical journals, covering topics such as hematopoietic cell transplantation and innovative treatment protocols for hematologic cancers. I am board-certified in medical oncology. I received my medical degree from Saint Joseph University Medical School in Beirut. I completed my residency in internal medicine at Staten Island University Hospital in New York and my fellowship in medical oncology at the University of Washington School of Medicine and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle. For those seeking an oncologist who combines expertise with a compassionate approach, I am dedicated to ensuring the highest quality care and supporting my patients through every step of their cancer journey.
