We post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

Get to Know Me
I’m a hematologic oncologist who has special training in the treatment of acute and chronic leukemia. This includes:
- Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
- Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN)
- Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
- Other related blood cancers
I see patients at the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in Manhattan and at MSK Commack on Long Island.
I am deeply passionate about my work. I aim to build strong and compassionate relationships with patients and their caregivers. It is important to me that patients are fully informed and involved in their treatment plan and feel comfortable and supported.
I am fortunate to work with an incredible team of nurses, pharmacists, social workers, and other colleagues. Together we strive to create a partnership with patients and their caregivers throughout the treatment journey.
I aim to integrate up-to-date research into clinical practice to provide the best possible care for my patients. Part of my role is to bridge the gap between research and patient care, making sure our scientific discoveries lead to benefits for our patients.
My research has been focused on acute leukemia, particularly AML, with an emphasis on improving treatment strategies for patients. I am engaged in ongoing clinical trials and collaborative research efforts that examine methods for reducing relapse rates. I am also involved in retrospective studies aimed at better understanding of disease biology.
Outside of work, my passion is cycling. I love bikepacking with my husband and our two children.
I’m a leukemia specialist, which is a doctor with special training in diagnosing and treating leukemia (loo-KEE-mee-uh). This cancer starts in tissue that forms blood, such as bone marrow.
