About Me
As a clinical cardiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. My approach centers on developing strong partnerships with my patients, working together to create personalized care plans that address their unique health concerns.
I specialize in managing cardiovascular conditions, with a particular focus on elderly patients. My board certifications in internal medicine, cardiology, and geriatrics enable me to offer expert care tailored to the needs of older adults. With more than 45 years of clinical experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice, helping patients navigate complex health issues with confidence.
As a clinical professor of medicine in cardiology at NYU Langone, I stay at the forefront of medical advancements and incorporate the latest research into my practice. This dedication to continuous learning ensures that my patients receive the most effective and up-to-date treatments available.
My journey into medicine was driven by a desire to help people and contribute to my community. I am honored to have received The Bravo Award from NYC Health and Hospitals, which recognizes hard work and dedication. This accolade reflects my unwavering commitment to providing quality patient care and my passion for making a positive impact on the lives of those I serve.
