About Me
As a nephrologist at NYU Langone Nephrology Associates, I am dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for patients living with kidney disease. My approach is rooted in compassion and collaboration, ensuring that every patient receives comprehensive support.
I specialize in managing patients on dialysis, with a particular focus on interventional nephrology. This includes employing advanced techniques and minimally invasive procedures to optimize dialysis access for both patients on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis therapy. My goal is to ensure that patients receive effective, comfortable, and long-lasting dialysis treatment.
Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to proactive healthcare engagement. I empower my patients by advising them on nutrition, physical activity, lifestyle choices, and dialysis access care, enabling them to take an active role in their health. My commitment to staying at the forefront of nephrology and dialysis management drives me to continuously seek new knowledge and skills for the benefit of my patients.
My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those I care for. I am proud to be part of the NYU Langone family, where I can continue to contribute to the wellbeing of my patients through coordinated care.
