As a physician, I care for children who may have cancer or a type of blood disease. I work with them and their families from the initial evaluation to establish a diagnosis, all the way through developing and carrying out a treatment plan. As we work together, I prioritize listening to their concerns, understanding their values, and working as a team. I also value transparency and honesty as we share information along the pathway toward healing. I consider it a tremendous honor and privilege to work with children and their parents, and I strive to do everything I can to help.
