Dr. Doucette’s Philosophy of Care

“I am committed to treating each of my patients with respect and dignity. It’s important to me to spend time with my patients, providing compassionate care. At MedStar Georgetown, I hope to give my patients clinical trial opportunities and connect them with the resources they need, so they can get coordinated, comprehensive care at MedStar Georgetown using the latest treatments.

Because blood and marrow transplants are such an important part of treatment for multiple myeloma and related conditions, our department is tightly linked with the blood and marrow transplant team. We have shared clinic space, which enables close collaboration and communication. This streamlines the referral process and gives patients the best chance at an optimal outcome.

Although there is no cure yet for multiple myeloma, with treatment and comprehensive care, patients can typically live active lives. It’s an exciting time to work in myeloma and plasma cell dyscrasias. Research is moving ahead in leaps and bounds, and there are a lot of new treatment options for patients.”
