About Me
As a radiologist at NYU Langone, I am passionate about using advanced imaging techniques to enhance patient care. The ability to visualize the human body in three dimensions and evaluate anatomy and disease is both fascinating and exciting to me. Radiology offers a unique opportunity to contribute to patient wellbeing through this vision, and I am dedicated to staying at the forefront of this ever-evolving field.
I specialize in body and breast imaging, with a particular focus on digital breast tomosynthesis, which is essentially three-dimensional mammography. This advanced technique has significantly improved the accuracy and early detection of breast diseases, making my work incredibly rewarding. With years of experience in radiology, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice, ensuring that my patients receive the highest standard of care.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to proactive healthcare engagement, frequently interacting with patients to provide personalized and responsive care. My background in medical physics research and my extensive training in vascular imaging during my fellowship have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of noninvasive imaging techniques, further enhancing my ability to diagnose and manage various conditions effectively.
My journey into radiology was inspired by my father and uncle, both of whom were radiologists. After majoring in physics in college and pursuing graduate studies, I transitioned to medical school and completed a radiology residency. The continuous advancements in imaging technology and the impact they have on patient care drive my passion for this field. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that provides coordinated and seamless care to our patients.
