Dr. Keith A. Lerro

I am convinced that caring for patients with malignant hematologic diseases requires not only up-to-date medical knowledge, but also an understanding of the individual patient's needs and circumstances. I encourage patients to take an active role in their treatment and recovery and I work with them to develop an individualized treatment plan that includes the most advanced therapies available today. My practice focuses primarily on disorders of the lymphatic system (Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia). As an integral part of my clinical activities, I am dedicated to teaching young physicians at all levels of training and educating the next generation of hematologists.

Dr. Friedman is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Primary Lymphoma of the Brain. His top areas of expertise are Glioma, Astrocytoma, Glioblastoma, and Brain Tumor.

I treat adult patients who have hematologic malignancies with a focus on lymphomas. I enjoy seeing a variety of different people from different walks of life. Most of the patients I see have a lymphoma diagnosis. Some examples of lymphomas we see are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, as well as T-cell lymphoma. The first thing when I meet a patient is to get to know them and their family the best that I can. When I see patients, my goal is that they receive the best care that is available to them anywhere.
