About Me
As a cardiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive cardiac care. I specialize in managing patients with a range of cardiovascular conditions, including high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, and disorders of cardiac rhythm. My expertise allows me to offer tailored treatment plans that address the unique needs of each patient, ensuring optimal outcomes and improved quality of life.
My approach emphasizes shared decision-making, ensuring that patients are well-informed about their treatment options. By explaining the reasoning behind each medical suggestion, including the risks and benefits, I empower my patients to actively participate in their healthcare journey.
My upbringing in a family of medical professionals naturally led me to pursue a career in healthcare. During medical school, I developed a keen interest in the cardiovascular system, which ultimately guided me to specialize in cardiology. My education and training have equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to provide high-quality care to my patients.
With years of experience in the field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a commitment to excellence in cardiology. My practice is characterized by a proactive approach to healthcare, focusing on prevention and early intervention, which not only helps manage existing conditions but reduces the risk of future cardiovascular events.
