About Me
As a radiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing compassionate care through the interpretation of medical imaging of the musculoskeletal system. My role allows me to serve as a consultant to many subspecialists, impacting patients’ clinical courses and quality of life at various stages. Although radiologists often work behind the scenes, I cherish the opportunities I have to meet patients in my musculoskeletal radiology practice, where I can discuss their images and findings in real time.
I specialize in diagnosing and managing patients with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including sports injuries, rheumatologic conditions, and musculoskeletal tumors. With extensive training and years of experience, I perform various image-guided procedures such as joint and spine injections for targeted pain relief and biopsies of musculoskeletal tumors. Additionally, I use diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound to evaluate conditions within the musculoskeletal system. My commitment to patient engagement and education is central to my practice, as I believe in empowering you with knowledge about your conditions.
Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, collaborating closely with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive and coordinated care. My work involves interpreting complex imaging studies and performing procedures that directly contribute to diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions. This collaborative approach not only enhances patient care but also fosters strong partnerships with patients and their families.
My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a meaningful impact on patients' lives through advanced imaging techniques and procedures. I pursued my medical education with a focus on radiology, driven by the potential to diagnose and treat conditions non-invasively. As part of the NYU Langone team, I am proud to contribute to a multidisciplinary approach that ensures high-quality care for all our patients.
