Best Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum Doctors in Jamaica, NY

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. I am lucky to have had the opportunity to train under brilliant thinkers and exceptional role models from whom I have learned the importance of ensuring that each patient truly understands his or her diagnosis and the rationale behind treatment. I am excited to be joining the Department of Hematology at Weill Cornell and look forward to continuing in clinical investigations in hopes of improving diagnosis and treatment in the fields of thrombosis and immune thrombocytopenia. We are committed to delivering the best care and an exceptional patient experience. We are devoted to providing services that are patient-centered and compassionate, and care for you as a person.

"Many of us on the faculty have been privileged to practice here for our entire professional lives. We've grown up together. I love what I do. I love that I'm able to do the best two jobs in the world: being a mom and being an Ob/Gyn physician. I love working in a place where people care about their work and each other. Our patients can feel it, and that's why they send their friends and family here too."

My first priority is the patient sitting in front of me. I have a longstanding interest in cancer care and have been specifically focused on lymphoma since my father was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma when I was a medical student. At Weill Cornell, our experienced team of lymphoma specialists works together to determine the most appropriate therapy for each individual patient. Our group has played a key role in the development of many new therapies approved for lymphoma in recent years. As a result, our patients have early access to new and promising lymphoma treatments. We are fortunate to have a strong team of physician assistants, nurses, medical technicians, pharmacists, and administrative staff. This environment enables me to provide my patients with the best possible level of care.

One of the most gratifying aspects of practicing at Weill Cornell has been the close collaborations with talented clinicians and scientists in the diagnosis and management of complex blood disorders. In my new role, I look forward to providing the same personal care to my patients utilizing the latest diagnostic tools and therapeutic modalities to improve patient outcomes.
