    Dr. William Blum is excellent. He took the time to explain my test results, and what he saw in them. He also was very patient and answered all the questions I had what I can do now and in the near future and still protect my immune system. He also made sure that I knew to contact him between appointments if I had any issues.

    Dr. William Blum, Director of Acute Leukemia Department, is without a doubt the finest physician I've ever been so fortunate as to have one care for me. Dr. Blum knows his speciality extremely well, and most importantly, he knows how to listen to his patients, then explain/communicate, versus the opposite. He involved me throughout the entire process, from start to finish, even managing to convince me to give my original oncologist/hematologist a second chance, so as to rebuild the broken trust between us, all with the complete understanding that he would also be monitoring and treating me. A truly wonderful experience in and for an extremely stressful health situation. Fantastic!

    Dr. Blum is amazing!!! He had me explain to him what I understood about my condition (as a former educator, this is truly best practice) to ensure I actually did understand. He drew a picture of what his future expectations of the drug effects on my cancer would be, looked at and discussed pictures on my phone of side effects I have started having and created a plan and truly spent time with me and didn't make me feel like he had any other patients waiting ion him. He is brilliant but his patient Interactions and bedside manner er are second to none!!!
