About Me
As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing immediate, life-changing care during critical moments. My passion for this field stems from my own experiences with the power of healing and support, which I encountered after a devastating gymnastics injury and the unexpected loss of my father. These events inspired me to help others navigate their own challenges through medicine.
In the emergency department, I treat patients of all ages and backgrounds, addressing a diverse array of medical issues. My training and experience have equipped me to handle high-stakes, fast-paced situations with energy, focus, and drive. I am committed to delivering immediate care that can make a significant difference in the lives of my patients.
Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that my patients receive the best possible care during their most critical moments. My work in emergency medicine allows me to act swiftly and effectively, providing relief and support when it is needed most.
At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that values coordinated, seamless care, ensuring that our patients receive comprehensive treatment and support.
