About Me
As a rheumatologist at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and personalized care. I find immense joy and fulfillment in taking care of my patients and being a part of their health journey.
I specialize in treating a wide range of rheumatologic conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other autoimmune diseases. With over 40 years of experience in the field, I have witnessed the evolution of immunology and rheumatology, and I am passionate about integrating the latest advancements in treatment into my practice. My extensive training includes an internship and residency at North Shore University and Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital, followed by a fellowship in rheumatology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that my patients are well-informed and actively involved in their treatment plans. I have worked in both academic and private practice settings, which has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of patient care. My return to NYU Langone has allowed me to collaborate with a diverse, dedicated team, ensuring coordinated and seamless care for my patients.
