About us

My brother had a rare disorder called pure red cell aplasia. It took 23 years to be diagnosed because in Pakistan in the 1980?s, we didn?t have access to a hematologist. But a doctor who had trained in the U.S. came back home to serve patients with blood disorders, and he cared for my brother. As a child, I took my brother to him for treatment. That experience steered me toward medicine and specifically hematology/oncology. I've been trained in solid cancers and blood cancers, and as a general oncologist, I treat many different cancers. My research background was in lung cancer, and that?s something I'm still inclined towards. We?re living in an era of rapid advancement. New treatment options come in almost monthly. We need to stay updated with every new development. But the human touch is just as important. Patients come to us on the worst days of their lives. Being empathetic and a good listener are skills that any oncologist needs.
