Philosophy of Care

I enjoy taking care of children and their families, particularly those children with rare diseases that often require bone marrow transplantation for cure. I believe that clinical research is key in pushing science forward and improving cure rates. I work diligently to bring new innovative therapeutic options for cancer and blood diseases to the state of NJ, as I do not think any child should have to leave NJ for treatment.
