BIO

Mansour Gergi, MD is a hematologist and medical oncologist at the UVM Medical Center, and an assistant professor of medicine at the Larner College of Medicine.

Dr. Gergi manages a variety of conditions including lymphoma, myeloma, MDS and AML, autologous stem cell transplant and CART therapy. c. His research interests include bleeding and cardiovascular care in patients with cancer, especially with hematologic malignancies. His published research can be found here.

Dr. Gergi chose his specialty because he appreciates the long-term relationships he builds with his patients. He loves interacting with patients, and his mission is always to make a positive impact in their lives. He tries to take the time to listen to his patients, and does his best to explain their disease and treatment to them so they can fully understand their condition, and help him make the decisions that are best for them. He always tells his patients, “You are in the driver’s seat – I help you by making recommendations based on my knowledge, but we make decisions together.”

Dr. Gergi is interested in bleeding as a complication in cancer patients and how that affects care delivery either in the case antithrombotic use for cardiovascular indications or for the treatment of venous, thromboembolic disease. He uses the electronic health record to develop algorithms that allow identification of rare events--such as bleeding--in large cohorts of patients without the need for manual chart review.
