About Gaby Hobbs, MD
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.
