About Me
As an anesthesiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to ensuring patient safety and comfort during surgical procedures. I specialize in pain management and anesthesia, with a particular focus on regional anesthesia techniques. These methods can significantly enhance recovery times and reduce pain after surgery. With years of experience, I am committed to using the latest technology and innovative approaches to ensure patients receive personalized care tailored to their specific needs.
My philosophy of care revolves around providing compassionate support during some of the most vulnerable moments in a patient’s life. It’s immensely fulfilling to know my work helps ease anxiety and pain, contributing to a positive surgical experience.
My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives. I chose anesthesiology because it allows me to play a critical role in patient care during surgery. Throughout my career, I have been driven by a desire to provide care and build trust with my patients. I achieve this by actively listening, addressing concerns, and maintaining open communication. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that prioritizes coordinated care, enhancing the overall health and wellbeing of our patients.
