About
Children deserve the best and the most advanced medical care. When a child is diagnosed with cancer or a disorder which requires a bone marrow transplant, our desire is to offer them the most cutting edge care with novel research initiatives. The ultimate goal is to help improve survival and lessen the side effects of transplantation. By leading the bone marrow transplant clinical research team, Dr. Talano’s strive to bring from the bench to the bedside opportunities to each patient to help improve upon our prior results. We treat every child as if they are our own- and strive every day to make a difference.

Ratings & Reviews
Why doesn't this provider have ratings?
At Children's, you can expect the very best care and service from all our providers — but not all will have ratings or reviews displayed online, for a few possible reasons.
The provider may:
- Not have received the minimum number of reviews (to ensure accuracy, we require a minimum of 30 patient surveys before we develop each provider's rating)
- Care for patients only as part of a team
- Not see Children's Wisconsin patients
