About Me
As a radiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to playing a crucial role in determining patients’ diagnoses, managing their conditions, and monitoring their treatment progress. My passion for science and my desire to help improve global health have driven me to pursue a career in medicine. I am proud to be a part of the Community Division of NYU Langone’s Radiology Department, where I can contribute to patient care through advanced imaging techniques.
I specialize in body imaging, interpreting x-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. These imaging results are integral to the healthcare team’s ability to provide coordinated and seamless care, as they are accessible to the entire treating team and patients themselves through the electronic chart app. With years of experience in the field, I am committed to ensuring accurate and timely diagnoses, which are essential for effective treatment planning and patient outcomes.
My work in radiology involves collaborating with a team to ensure comprehensive care for our patients. I am a fellow of the American College of Radiology and actively participate as a board member of the local Long Island chapter. Additionally, I am a member of the Radiological Society of North America and the American Roentgen Ray Society, which allows me to stay updated with the latest advancements in radiology.
My journey into medicine began with my education in the City and State University systems of New York. My love for science and a strong desire to make a difference in the world inspired me to pursue a career in radiology. Being a part of NYU Langone enables me to work with a dedicated team of professionals, ensuring that our patients receive the highest quality of care. I am committed to fostering strong partnerships with my patients, ensuring their health and wellbeing are always prioritized.
