The ability to work closely with patients and with specialists in a variety of fields to solve complex clinical questions draws me to the field of non-malignant hematology.

Everything that we do at our center, whether clinical care, research or education, is focused on helping patients. Here are some of the many reasons why patients tell us they come here - whether from the New York area, the surrounding region, or traveling from all over the country and other parts of the world in order to receive evaluation and treatment for lymphoma by our group. Patients seek treatment here because they are referred here by their physicians, who recognize our expertise and know that across the region and the country we are a "go to" place to seek the best lymphoma care. Our physicians are internationally recognized for clinical skill, research, and personal qualities. In fact, we care for a substantial number of individual physicians (or their family members) who are themselves dealing with lymphoma.
