Overview
I treat patients with blood disorders and cancers, and I have a particular interest in helping patients with hematologic blood cancers, like leukemia, myeloma, and lymphoma, including the use of cellular therapies. I am fortunate to have a great team that works with me. We emphasize providing compassionate, individualized care using up-to-date, evidence-based treatments, including access to clinical trials. My patients are often going through a great deal, and I am devoted to their care. I have lived in this community for several decades and am honored to practice here.
