About Me
As a pulmonologist at NYU Langone, I provide comprehensive care for patients with chronic pulmonary conditions. My passion lies in improving the quality of life for those living with bronchiectasis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections. I find immense satisfaction in educating both patients and clinicians about these conditions, and I am proud to be a part of the leadership team for the Bronchiectasis and NTM Program at NYU Langone.
My role as director of the Bronchiectasis and NTM education program allows me to stay at the forefront of the latest therapies and airway clearance techniques, ensuring my patients receive the most advanced care available. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with national and international centers on bronchiectasis research, focusing on innovative treatments and improving patient outcomes.
My administrative roles as system chief of pulmonary medicine for NYC Health + Hospitals and section chief of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine at Bellevue enable me to expand pulmonary services and address healthcare disparities, ensuring high-quality care for all patients. As a native New Yorker, I am honored to serve my community and contribute to the exceptional care provided at NYU Langone.
