As an anesthesiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to ensuring optimal patient care and safety during surgical procedures. My passion for anesthesia stems from the ability to provide comfort and reassurance to patients during some of their most vulnerable moments. In my current role, I lead the anesthesia team at the newly built Outpatient Endoscopy Center, where I focus on developing and implementing innovative protocols to enhance patient safety and streamline operational efficiency.

I specialize in both obstetric anesthesia and neuro-anesthesia, which allows me to navigate the unique demands and complexities of these fields with precision. With over 13 years of experience, I am well-equipped to manage the challenges that arise during delicate surgical procedures. My board certification underscores my commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care and staying abreast of the latest advancements in anesthesiology.

Throughout my career, I have been actively involved in the Department of Anesthesia Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement (QA/QI) committee and the anesthesia management team. These roles have allowed me to shape clinical practices and protocols, emphasizing team collaboration and continuous improvement. My expertise in anesthesia management is not only about optimizing patient outcomes but also about fostering a culture of learning and support within the team.

My journey into medicine began during my tenure as chief resident at the Albert Einstein Montefiore Medical Center. This formative experience honed my clinical skills, nurtured my leadership abilities, and fostered a collaborative approach to patient care. I take pride in mentoring the next generation of anesthesiologists, sharing insights and experiences to cultivate a culture of learning and support.

Beyond my technical expertise, I am known for my compassionate and empathetic nature. I establish strong rapports with my patients, providing reassurance during the perioperative period and ensuring they feel valued and understood. Effective communication with patients, colleagues, and interdisciplinary teams is a cornerstone of my practice, reflecting my commitment to holistic care.

I remain at the forefront of medical advancements by actively engaging in continuing education and research activities. This ongoing pursuit of knowledge allows me to adapt to the evolving landscape of anesthesiology and enhance my clinical acumen. My unwavering dedication to anesthesiology, combined with extensive clinical experience, expertise in obstetric anesthesia and neuro-anesthesia, strong leadership in anesthesia management, and compassionate approach, make me an exceptional clinician who consistently delivers outstanding outcomes and patient satisfaction.
