About Me
I am a distinguished surgeon specializing in bariatric and metabolic surgery at NYU Langone. As a past president of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and the New York State Chapter of the American College of Surgeons, I have been instrumental in advancing surgical practices and fostering research initiatives. My role as a primary investigator in numerous research projects has significantly enhanced the medical community's understanding of obesity and its treatment.
Renowned globally for my innovative techniques, I have performed thousands of successful surgeries, establishing myself as a leader in my field. My dedication to patient care and outcomes is evident in my commitment to education, mentorship, and advocacy. My contributions not only elevate my stature among my peers but also inspire future generations of surgeons and medical professionals.
