I grew up in a medical family; in fact, I’m a third-generation doctor. During my residency in the mid–1980s, there were great treatment advances in cardiology, gastroenterology, and pulmonology, but medical oncology seemed to be a forgotten area. Very few treatments were available for cancer. I chose to specialize in oncology and hematology because I wanted to contribute knowledge and energy to helping find a cure for people affected by cancer.

At Perlmutter Cancer Center, we treat patients with the same care and compassion that we would want to receive. Our patients always come first. My best days are when I know that I have contributed to curing a person and that he or she will go on to live a healthy and productive life.

Our doctors are always conducting many clinical trials for different cancers and novel treatments. I am able to offer patients the opportunity to participate in these trials, matching them with ones best suited for their clinical needs and condition.

I have been recognized by Castle Connolly's "Top Doctors" series for the New York Metro Area and New York Magazine's "Best Doctors in New York" every year since 2012. Also, I have been named one of Castle Connolly’s "America's Top Doctors for Cancer" annually since 2013.
