About Me
As a musculoskeletal radiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care. My fascination with the human body and my desire to help others have always driven me. I thrive on challenges and continuous learning, which makes the dynamic field of radiology particularly exciting for me. I am committed to helping patients navigate some of the most challenging moments of their lives through precise and effective imaging techniques.
I specialize in musculoskeletal radiology, focusing on diagnosing and treating sports-related injuries, arthritis, musculoskeletal infections, and bone and soft tissue tumors. My expertise includes advanced imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans, which are crucial for pinpointing an injury’s exact cause and guiding treatment options. With over a decade of experience, I have honed my skills in using imaging guidance for therapeutic interventions, such as steroid injections, to alleviate pain and improve patient outcomes.
Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in evaluating and managing a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. I work closely with orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, and sports medicine specialists to create a collaborative approach to patient care. This teamwork ensures that my patients receive coordinated and seamless care.
My journey into medicine began with a deep-seated curiosity about the human body and a desire to make a difference in people's lives. I pursued my medical degree with a focus on radiology because it combines my love for technology, problem-solving, and improving patient outcomes. My passion for sports further led me to specialize in musculoskeletal radiology, where I can merge my interests and contribute to the wellbeing of athletes and active individuals. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that prioritizes patient care and continuous innovation.
