About Me
As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am motivated by a profound commitment to my community, especially those who often struggle to access adequate healthcare. The ever-changing landscape of the emergency department intrigued me from the beginning, and the chance to positively impact my patients’ lives during their most vulnerable times is both humbling and rewarding.
Emergency medicine brings unique challenges and gratifications each day. Whether it’s stabilizing a patient with trauma or guiding someone through a mental health crisis, my focus is on providing empathetic care and resources that can enhance overall wellbeing. My extensive experience and comprehensive training have prepared me to navigate the unpredictable nature of emergency medicine, ensuring that every patient receives the highest quality of care.
At NYU Langone, I work in collaboration with a diverse team, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care for my patients. Throughout my career, I have championed the cause of underserved communities, aiming to provide not just immediate care, but also support and resources that can enhance their overall health.
