As a critical care physician at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care to my patients. My approach is rooted in a deep commitment to understanding the complexities of each illness and the unique needs of every individual. I believe in meticulous attention to detail and strive to learn as much as possible about my patients to offer the best possible care.

I specialize in managing patients in intensive care units with severe lung conditions and critical illnesses that can often lead to respiratory failure. This focus allows me to address complex cases involving severe respiratory distress and other life-threatening conditions.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to advancing medical knowledge and education. I actively engage in teaching medical students and supervising doctors-in-training, both in the classroom and on the wards. My research efforts are concentrated on preventing severe lung failure, contributing to the broader medical communitys understanding of critical care.

My journey into medicine was driven by a passion for learning and a desire to help others. Fascinated by the human body and the impact of disease, I chose to specialize in critical care to make a significant difference in the lives of the sickest patients. My dedication to compassionate, humane care is at the core of my practice, ensuring that my patients and their families receive the support they need during challenging times.
