“
“My focus is always on providing my patients with treatments that are less harmful and less toxic but still help achieve better outcomes. Another important goal for me is helping my patients learn to cope with the stress of their illness.

“I want to make stem cell transplants accessible to as many patients as possible, from all different races and ethnicities. Every person on this earth is a potential cure for someone else.”
