About Me
As a general and trauma surgeon at NYU Langone Health, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. My approach emphasizes clear communication and collaboration, ensuring that patients and their families are well-informed and comfortable with their treatment plans. I believe in the importance of patient education and strive to create a supportive environment where patients feel empowered to take an active role in their healthcare journey.
I specialize in managing acute conditions such as appendicitis, small bowel obstruction, and cholecystitis, as well as providing critical care for trauma patients. My expertise in surgical critical care allows me to address complex and life-threatening conditions with precision. I am committed to utilizing the latest surgical techniques and technologies to improve patient outcomes and recovery times.
With extensive experience in both general and trauma surgery, I bring a wealth of knowledge and skill to my practice. My highly trained surgical team and I are dedicated to delivering the highest quality care, leveraging cutting-edge treatment options available within our health system. Our approach ensures that each patient receives personalized and coordinated care tailored to their specific needs.
My journey into medicine was driven by a desire to help others and make a tangible difference in their lives. Surgery, in particular, appealed to me because it allows for both the immediate resolution of acute health issues and the ongoing management of chronic conditions. The privilege of following up with patients and witnessing their recovery and long-term health improvements is incredibly rewarding. My education and training have equipped me with the skills to address a wide range of health problems, and I am honored to be a part of my patients’ healthcare team.
