Dear Dr. Hochman,

I am a Turkish citizen from Istanbul and I read about your great help to Batuhan. I wanted to thank you for your assistance to a patient who needs help while in his own country doctors were not taking enough care of him.
Best regards,

Dr. Hochman Hosts Medical Symposium

31-May-2009

Dr. Marcelo Hochman and The Hemangioma Treatment Foundation hosted a major medical symposium, “HEMANGIOMAS: THEY DON’T JUST GO AWAY” on May 29, 2009

at St. Francis Hospital in Charleston, SC. The event was presented to pediatricians, dermatologists and family practice doctors.

Dr Hochman said that one of the key purposes of the symposiums is to provide knowledge on the subject and treatment of hemangiomas. With over 400,000 children born each year in the US with a vascular anomaly medical intervention is recommended as early as possible.

“There is still much conventional medical wisdom which says that hemangiomas in children will go away if left without treatment,” says Dr Hochman. “We are opposed to this view and have considerable medical evidence to demonstrate how successful clinical and laser surgery can be in treating patients. A child with a serious hemangioma can suffer tremendous psychological problems and bring considerable anguish to the parents. Our symposium is to bring up-to-date knowledge and experience with case histories to physicians who deal with children.”

Dr Hochman is one of the leading surgeons in the world dealing with children with this condition. An increasing number of international patients have come to Charleston for medical help from Dr Hochman’s Foundation and clinic making Charleston a world center for Hemangioma treatment.

For the symposium he lead a distinguished group of invited Faculty, including Martin C.Mihm MD FACP from Harvard Medical School, John P.Devikis MD from The University of Rochester, Anne Comi MD from Johns Hopkins Medical School, and Denise Adams from the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

Dr.Hochman intends to run other symposiums around the United States over the next two years.
