About Me
I was born in New York City, raised in New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) public housing, and come from a multicultural background. This unique upbringing, combined with the joy of working with children and families, drew me to pediatrics. I see myself and my loved ones in my patients’ families, and I hope to inspire future scholars among the children and adolescents I meet.
I accept patients for pediatric primary care at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue Hospital, the oldest public hospital in the United States, doing comprehensive well-child care, routine immunizations, and school physicals as well as sick visits. In addition, I see patients in the Pre-Hospital and Adolescent Medicine clinics on a weekly basis.
In regards to inpatient service, I spend a few weeks per year at Bellevue Hospital’s Labor and Delivery Mother–Baby Unit as the pediatric attending in supervision of students and residents in the care of healthy newborns. I also provide coverage for both NYU Langone’s Kimmel Pavilion and Bellevue Hospital’s general inpatient pediatrics units as the pediatric attending on service as well, taking care of children with acute medical problems requiring hospitalization.
