Karim Thomas Sadak, MD

Dr. Sadak delivers comprehensive and compassionate family-centered hematology/oncology care at the M Health Fairview Katie Hageboeck Children's Cancer Research Fund Clinic (formerly known as the Journey Pediatric Specialty Clinic), M Health Fairview Masonic Cancer Clinic, M Health Fairview Cancer Clinic Maple Grove and the M Health Fairview Masonic Children's Hospital.  

He is the Director of the Childhood Cancer/BMT Survivor Program and Senior Medical Director of Pediatrics for the University of Minnesota Medical Center.  His focus is children, adolescents, and young adults that have been cured of childhood cancer or treated with a BMT to ensure they live the rest of their long lives with the highest quality of life possible.  He leads a team that delivers care to survivors of all ages and their families, performs research related to childhood cancer survivors and helps educate others on the care and needs of childhood cancer/BMT survivors.  This team includes nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, neuropsychologists, several pediatric- and adult-subspecialists, complex schedulers, research personnel, medical providers and researchers.  His research focuses on how to create an evidence-based model of care for childhood cancer/BMT survivors that ensures successful transitions from pediatric- to adult-centered long-term follow-up care.

I believe each patient and family has a unique medical journey and therefore has unique medical needs that we can identify and then address together through patient-centered listening and teamwork that results in a patient-specific and personalized plan.
