As a pediatric emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I believe in the power of parental instincts when it comes to a child’s wellbeing. The dynamic nature of my specialty constantly presents new challenges and opportunities to positively influence a child’s life.

My expertise lies in treating a variety of conditions in children and teens. I am proficient in performing a range of procedures, including repairing lacerations (cuts), incision and drainage (I and Ds), intubating (inserting a tube into the windpipe to assist with breathing), and administering sedation. My years of experience equip me to navigate the unpredictable landscape of pediatric emergencies, ensuring children receive optimal care.

As a member of the Emergency Department at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, I provide immediate, comprehensive care to my young patients. We recognize that emergencies don’t adhere to office hours, and our team is prepared to deliver expert care whenever a child needs it.

My decision to pursue a career in medicine was fueled by a desire to help others and make a positive impact on their lives. The most rewarding part of my job is seeing children recover and feel better. The challenges of resuscitating patients and the variety of procedures I perform keep me engaged and passionate about my work. As a part of NYU Langone, I am committed to providing coordinated care for my patients, ensuring they receive the best treatment possible.
