I find great satisfaction in mentoring the next generation of radiologists, many of whom now hold leadership positions within our department.

I specialize in body imaging, with extensive experience in practice development and quality initiatives. With over 25 years in the field, including 15 years in private practice, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my current role. My commitment to proactive healthcare engagement is evident in my approach to patient care, ensuring that each individual receives the highest standard of diagnostic imaging.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to integrating clinical and operational initiatives to meet the growing demand for imaging services. As an associate chair, I oversee teams across our community outpatient radiology centers in Long Island and Queens, working closely with leadership to ensure excellence in imaging services as we expand throughout the metropolitan region. My focus on quality and safety has been instrumental in developing a robust and reliable imaging network that supports coordinated, seamless care for our patients.

My journey into radiology began with a passion for the intricate details and precision required in diagnostic imaging. I pursued my medical degree with the goal of combining my interests in technology and patient care. My educational background and experience have equipped me with the skills necessary to lead and innovate within the field of radiology. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a dedicated and diverse team advancing medical imaging and improving patient outcomes.
