About Me
As an otolaryngologist at NYU Langone, I am deeply passionate about both surgical and clinical practice. I cherish the chance to form enduring relationships with my patients, while also offering immediate, tangible solutions through surgical procedures. My specialty allows me to care for patients across all age groups, focusing primarily on the head and neck.
My expertise lies in treating a range of nasal and sinus conditions. I perform general ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeries, as well as specialized nasal and sinus procedures. It's fulfilling to ease the discomfort of patients, who often grapple with common ENT issues that can be readily addressed. Additionally, I work alongside neurosurgeons to conduct surgeries on the pituitary gland via the nasal route.
Throughout my career, I have participated in groundbreaking research. One such study I was involved in showcased the benefits of using radio waves (radiofrequency) to treat tonsils and nasal tissue, as opposed to using electric current (electrocautery). This research has directly improved the treatment options available to my patients. My commitment to proactive engagement in healthcare and partnership with patients is evident in my approach to care. I consistently aim to include my patients in their treatment plans, cultivating a cooperative environment that fosters trust and rapport.
My decision to pursue a career in medicine was fueled by a fascination with surgery and a yearning to form meaningful connections with my patients. Otolaryngology offers the ideal combination of these passions, enabling me to provide comprehensive care for my patients' head and neck conditions.
As a member of the NYU Langone team, I am dedicated to delivering coordinated, seamless care to all my patients. I have been honored with numerous written accolades and testimonials from patients, reflecting their satisfaction with my empathetic treatment approach.
