About Me
As a cardiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to delivering care that prioritizes both the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases. I am particularly drawn to the dynamic nature of cardiology, where continuous learning and innovation are essential. My role allows me to combine my interest in sports cardiology with a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular health, ensuring that each patient receives personalized and effective care.
With over 40 years of experience in cardiology, I have been fortunate to witness and contribute to significant advancements in the field. My expertise includes noninvasive testing, such as exercise stress testing, which has deepened my understanding of the critical role physical activity plays in preventing cardiovascular disease. I specialize in sports cardiology and sports medicine, integrating lifestyle modifications and medication to optimize heart health and prevent disease.
Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and understanding each patient's unique needs. My approach is rooted in fostering strong partnerships with my patients, ensuring they are well-informed and actively involved in their care. This dedication to patient engagement and responsiveness is central to my practice.
My journey into medicine was inspired by the transformative potential of cardiology and the exciting advancements in the field. I pursued my medical education with a commitment to making a difference in patients' lives through innovative and compassionate care. As part of the NYU Langone team, I collaborate with a diverse group of professionals, providing coordinated and seamless care that addresses all aspects of cardiovascular health.
