“WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT WE’RE DOING, BUT ALSO CARE ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING.”— CHRISTOPHER ROKES, MD
For this Pediatric Hematologist/Oncologist, a physician’s technical skills matter greatly. But Dr. Rokes believes there is much more to practicing medicine than what’s in the textbooks.

From his steady commitment to showing each patient he cares, to simple gestures that build confidence, not even the EHR get’s in his way!
