About Me
As a radiologist at NYU Langone Health, I provide comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. My passion for medicine began at an early age, driven by my love of science and a desire to help others. I am particularly drawn to radiology because it allows me to solve complex medical puzzles through various imaging techniques, much like a detective in a mystery novel.
I specialize in breast and women’s imaging, with a focus on the early detection of breast cancer. My journey in this field began when mammography was a new technology, and I pursued one of the first mammography fellowships in the United States at the University of Michigan. With over 30 years of experience, I have established a leading breast and women’s imaging practice on Long Island, where I have been at the forefront of implementing supplemental ultrasound screening for patients with dense breasts.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of seeing three generations of many families, fostering trust and respect through direct face-to-face consultations and discussions of results. This approach has enabled me to reduce the anxiety often associated with mammography and build a loyal patient following.
My educational background includes a fellowship in mammography, and I have continuously sought to advance best practices in the field. I have been involved in educating patients, staff, and referring physicians about the latest technologies and protocols, such as digital mammography, tomosynthesis, and BRCA testing. As part of the Long Island division of NYU Radiology, I now have the opportunity to connect with a diverse team of physicians at a leading academic institution, enhancing the care we provide to our patients.
I am inspired by the collaboration and knowledge-sharing within our department, and I enjoy discussing challenging cases with my peers. The robust radiology–pathology follow-up and teaching opportunities for residents and medical students are particularly fulfilling. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the integration of community-based outpatient radiology with the expanding academic hospital system at NYU Langone Health.
