He’s most excellent. Has my Multiple Myeloma in a maintained remission. And this new treatment for AML? What a game changer for those patients!
- Melody H.
When I started seeing him I was diagnosed with multi myloma and was is a lot of pain. As of now I am feeling so much better and doing much better. Come December I will be doing a stem cell transplant and I believe with Dr. Faber and his nursing staff by my side I will do great. Thanks to Dr. Faber I will be here for my family.

He’s a excellent doctor. I am still alive.
