Personal Statement

I am a hematologist/oncologist with an expertise in treating blood cancers, specifically multiple myeloma and amyloidosis. I chose a career treating cancer to marry the day-to-day compassionate, individualized care I could give to patients with the opportunity for exciting discovery of new therapies for treating and curing blood cancers. I am fortunate to practice within a hospital and medical institution where the focus is truly on providing exceptional patient care within a research environment offering the latest diagnostic tests and clinical trials and the most comprehensive therapeutic options.I have particular expertise in AL amyloidosis in addition to multiple myeloma and along with performing stem cell transplants, work to discover new treatments and offer therapies on clinical trials that are not otherwise available for this rare condition. My particular interest is in developing new immune therapies and I work with scientists in the laboratory and other collaborators closely to bring these therapies to the forefront. Above all, I strongly believe the most important part of treating both multiple myeloma and amyloidosis is to be by my patient’s side throughout their diagnosis, treatment and remission, and to continually evaluate for ways of improving their overall health.

I look forward every day to practice as part of the team within the Myeloma Center at Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital with the goal of improving our treatment of multiple myeloma and amyloidosis to lead to a cure for both conditions.
