Medicine appealed to me because I enjoy helping people—and it is intellectually challenging. Doctors have to be detectives and recognize the uncommon conditions we may have learned about but do not see frequently.

At NYU Langone Slope Pediatrics and NYU Langone Medical Associates—Greenpoint, I provide well-child visits and vaccinations. I am trained in integrative medicine, so I can recommend complementary therapies, such as dietary changes and supplements, for gastrointestinal disorders and conditions such as obesity, asthma, eczema, colic, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

I also offer lactation support and provide nutritional counseling for breastfeeding mothers. When the parent of one of my patients is expecting another baby, I can provide counseling about how to eat healthfully and avoid harmful substances during pregnancy.

I partner with parents to help them make the best decisions for their child’s health. I am open to new approaches to treatment, and my philosophy is “less is more.” When appropriate, I recommend lifestyle changes before prescribing medication.

I love to watch my patients grow and to develop a relationship with them and their parents.
