    Dr Areej is incredibly brilliant and down to earth, approachable at the same time. She and her nurse practitioner saved my life. I am in my fourth year of survivorship, and I know that that outcome is due to their expertise and care.

    I met Dr. El-Jawahri about seven years ago and I was diagnosed with stage four leukemia and with a deletion of a chromosome. She got a donor from Germany and did a stem cell. I love her and I owe my life to her. She is wonderful and kind. Thank you.
