About Us
Our program utilizes a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team approach—we believe that is the best way to treat you as a whole person and address your health care needs in a comprehensive fashion. In addition to hematology and medical oncology physicians with vast experience in multiple myeloma and related diseases, the team includes skilled nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, clinical social workers, dietitians, and pharmacists. The team also includes leading experts from Mount Sinai’s Bone Marrow Transplant Program and Cellular Therapy Service and specialists from other services such as Pathology, Radiology, Immunology, Genomics, Infectious Diseases, Orthopedic Surgery, Cardiology, and Nephrology. As a patient at Mount Sinai, you have access to the finest doctors in all medical specialties.
Every patient is unique. Based on a thorough assessment of your disease, we will work with you to craft an individualized treatment plan that takes into account your medical history and condition, as well as your lifestyle and personal preferences. And, we will work closely with your referring physician to ensure continuity of your care.
We welcome patients from the local region and across the United States, as well as international patients. We are committed to meeting the individual needs of each patient in an environment of compassion, comfort, and excellence.
