As a pediatric emergency medicine physician, my driving force is the opportunity to make a positive impact on children’s lives when they need it most. I am steadfast in my commitment to each child’s wellbeing, tailoring my approach to meet their individual needs. I prioritize attentive listening to both the child and their caregivers, ensuring I fully understand their concerns, fears, and expectations. At NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, I am honored to provide immediate, lifesaving care, a responsibility I find deeply rewarding.

My expertise encompasses a wide range of urgent medical conditions in newborns to teenagers. These include acute illnesses and traumatic injuries. My team and I provide exceptional care for all pediatric medical emergencies with empathy. We understand the importance of creating a warm and secure environment where children feel comfortable, respected, and valued.

A pivotal moment in my career was during my training, when a critically ill child was brought into the emergency department in septic shock. After two hours of tireless effort, our team managed to stabilize the child and transfer him to the intensive care unit. The immense relief expressed by the parents solidified my commitment to pediatric emergency medicine.

My motivation to pursue a medical career was born from a desire to make a positive difference in children’s lives. I chose pediatrics because it provides a direct path to improve their health and wellbeing. As an emergency medicine physician, I take pride in being one of the first steps in the process of getting a child the care they need. The most fulfilling aspect of my job is the opportunity to provide comfort and reassurance to both the young patients and their families during intensely stressful situations.
