FemaleAbout Gabriela S Hobbs
I am a hematology-oncology physician who specializes in the care of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), chronic myeloid leukemia and leukemia. I am an active clinical researcher and lead the MPN research program at MGH; I lead several clinical trials and participate in translational research for MPN. In addition, I am the clinical director for the adult leukemia service at MGH.
In addition, I strive to provide compassionate care for each patient and his or her family and to tailor therapy to meet each patient's individual needs.
I grew up in Mexico city and I am fluent in Spanish. I welcome taking care of patients that speak primarily Spanish.

Doing the Ultrasound is an easy process to follow. The pre-day of US call to confirm "No food or beverages for six hours before" is good as it helps make sure the US is void of erroneous readings.

Dr Hobbs was very thorough. She listened to my concerns & questions & provided me with important information regarding my recent diagnosis. I am confident she is the best doctor to help me going forward. I was also very impressed with Dr [redacted] who went over all my background medical information & family history.

I am on some of the forums where people talk of their diseases and mostly leukemia from what I've been experiencing and reading most of these patients are not taken care of properly. Most of these patients have passed. I am very fortunate to have the doctor that I am so lucky to see thank you to Mass General. Thank you to Dr. Hobbs, and thank you to the staff ???

Dr. Hobbs is an excellent provider. She gives me all the information I need. And I think she also thinks outside the box to try to give me the best possible care. And in my last visit, after analyzing my health trend for the past year, she recommended another test to try to understand better why my body is reacting in the positive way that it has been. So I appreciate the opportunity to take that test. She understands this, uses fairly new technology. So I'm glad that she was aware of it and prescribes it for me. So she's a great provider. I'm glad that she's my doctor.
