My name is Ali Mahjoub I specialize in hematology and oncology. I work with the UVA at the Culpeper cancer services in Culpepper. I get to know my patient by giving them all the time they need and I take all the time I need to know to know them very well and they know me very well. I

make myself available for them in terms of another visit or they need a phone call or a follow up or anything I'm right there for them. Balancing their quality of life and medical care for our patients at the same time trying to,

space your personal life  from the

close relationship with your patients and the emotional changes that happens through their lives is very challenging but,

you just get adept to it that patients are human. You have to be available all the time. Practicing in Culpeper is very interesting, getting to know the people of Culpepper is very nice very unique people welcoming people.
