About Me
As an emergency room physician at NYU Langone, I feel uniquely privileged to have the training, resources, and experience to treat any patient who comes through our doors at any time. Although the connections made with patients, their families, and caregivers are typically fleeting, I treasure the opportunity for these chance encounters on every shift!
With over a decade of experience in emergency medicine, I specialize in diagnosing and initiating treatment for acute conditions commonly seen in the emergency room, including heart attacks, strokes, and sepsis. As the Chief of Quality for our department, I continually strive to enhance the quality of care we provide. This involves reviewing individual cases, analyzing data to monitor trends, updating clinical guidelines, and optimizing complex hospital workflows to maximize efficiency and effectiveness of our patient care.
By keeping a keen eye for improvement opportunities and an open mind for creative solutions, we can continue to improve the quality of care for our patients. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that values this goal through a coordinated and collaborative approach.
