About Me
I was born and raised in eastern Long Island, New York, but my medical training took me to various parts of the country. I am very happy to have made my way back to New York as a physician providing care at NYU Langone Health.
I am board-certified in dermatology and fellowship trained in complex medical dermatology, with a clinical focus on hair and scalp disorders. It was during my dermatology residency that I discovered the need for more dermatologists who specialize in alopecia and the importance of giving a voice to a population of people who often feel disregarded. I quickly realized the significant impact alopecia has on a person’s confidence and overall quality of life. I recognize the importance of individuality when it comes to the effect a diagnosis has on someone as well as their response to treatment.
At NYU Langone, I work with an incredible group of people to conduct clinical research and novel therapeutic trials with a focus on alopecia. Together we strive to ultimately broaden our understanding of hair loss, in addition to providing new therapies used to treat them.
