About Me
I have always enjoyed helping people, especially children. I believe it is important to bring positive change to people’s lives wherever possible. Through pediatric urology, I can do just that.
As a pediatric urologist, I specialize in the reconstructive surgery of children with difficult hypospadias and other penile problems, as well as those requiring bladder augmentations and urinary incontinence procedures. Additionally, I help my peers with difficult reconstructive surgeries.
I am often invited as a speaker on complex hypospadias reconstruction to national and international meetings and served as the pediatric urologist on the surgical team that separated conjoined twins at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in 2017.
In addition to my surgical skills, I believe in providing personal and empathetic care to my patients. My philosophy is to spend as much time as possible with my patients and their families, which allows me to understand their concerns, clarify conditions and treatments, and alleviate their fears.
I am a member of the Societies for Pediatric Urology, the American Association of Pediatric Urologists, the American Urological Association, the Society for Fetal Urology, the Hypospadias International Society, and the International Children’s Continence Society. I have published on topics related to pediatric urologic disorders, including oncology, laparoscopy, and voiding dysfunction.
I am honored to be the first pediatric urologist in the United States. to have a Certificate of Specialization in Pediatric Urology and to be a fellow in the American Academy of Pediatrics and American College of Surgeons. I have also been named a top doctor by Westchester magazine, Hudson Valley Parent magazine, and Castle Connelly’s “Top Doctors” series for New York metro area every year since 2016.
