About Me
As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing immediate and compassionate care to those in urgent need. The dynamic and fast-paced environment of emergency medicine allows me to make a significant impact on patients’ lives, often during their most critical moments. My role involves not only addressing acute medical and psychiatric conditions but also ensuring that each patient receives the highest standard of care during their visit.
I specialize in treating a wide range of urgent and emergent conditions, with a primary focus on adult patients. My extensive training and certification enable me to perform a variety of emergency procedures, ensuring that patients receive timely and effective treatment. With years of experience in the field, I am well-equipped to handle the complexities and challenges that come with emergency medical care.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of patient research and the value of independent, third-party reviews. My dedication to patient care is reflected in my approach to fostering strong partnerships and ensuring responsiveness to each patient’s unique needs. Being part of NYU Langone allows me to collaborate with a team that provides coordinated and seamless care, enhancing the overall patient experience.
My journey into medicine began with a deep-seated interest in health sciences and a desire to help those in immediate need. The breadth of knowledge required in emergency medicine intrigued me, but it was the opportunity to provide critical care that truly inspired my career path. I am proud to be part of an emergency department that strives to offer the best possible experience to patients, even on the worst days of their lives.
