    Thank you all.
  • WillC22
    🙌🏿
    It’s great to hear a doctors perspective and to bring it down to a patients level so they can be included in the conversation. Great podcast, the word of the day segment and what’s happening now are my favorite!

    Excellent sickle cell podcast
    A high-quality podcast packed with sickle cell insight. I loved the content. Keep up the good work. I will be recommending this podcast right and left.
  • B R Yan H
    Just Amazing!
    This podcast is fun and informative! outstanding reviews of studies, humor - the word of the day is great and I love the social media updates. Dr. Zaidi is so handsome! I can’t wait for more episodes
  • Hopscotch03
    Sickle cell experts who are easy to understand!
    Too many doctors speak above patients or don't take the time to "translate" their message to patients and families. Dr. Zaidi and Dr. Callaghan are the opposite! Easy to listen to experts, who clearly enjoy talking sickle cell together, and who really care about patients and families receiving critical educational info. Great pod, even greater docs!
  • azhockeyholic
    Just what the doctors ordered!
    It’s refreshing to hear the medical staff in a non-clinical setting. The stories they relate of their clinical practice in dealing with specific patient situations help convey their approachability. The medical information they provide is explained in an easy-to-understand way. I appreciate the opportunity to learn more about this condition, and am excited about the future therapeutic options for this community.
