New York / New York / United States
I am a pediatric oncologist who specializes in allogeneic (from a donor) and autologous (from self) bone marrow and stem cell transplantation. I treat children and young adults with hematologic cancers, such as leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes, as well as those with diseases that impair the ability of the body to make blood cells, such as bone marrow failure syndromes and immunological deficiencies. I am also a specialist in graft-versus-host disease in children — a complication of transplantation that occurs when white blood cells from the donor attack the tissues of the recipient, causing severe inflammation and other problems. For general information, call Memorial Sloan Kettering at 212-639-2000, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To make an appointment, call us at 800-525-2225, Monday through Friday between 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM ET.
