About Me
As a pediatrician and pediatric rheumatologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to children and young adults. My approach to medicine is rooted in a commitment to ensuring that each child receives personalized attention tailored to their unique health needs. I believe in the importance of fostering strong partnerships with my patients and their families, guiding them through their healthcare journey with empathy and expertise.
I specialize in pediatric rheumatology, managing complex conditions such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis, lupus, and other autoimmune diseases. My dual expertise in general pediatrics and rheumatology allows me to address a wide range of health issues, from routine pediatric care to intricate rheumatologic disorders. This integrated perspective enables me to provide thorough evaluations and develop comprehensive treatment plans that address both immediate and long-term health concerns.
With over three decades of experience, I have honed my skills in diagnosing and managing complex medical cases. My work at NYU Langone and Bellevue has afforded me the opportunity to educate future medical professionals, sharing my knowledge and passion for pediatric care. In my private practice, I serve the diverse populations of urban and suburban Manhattan, bringing a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by my patients.
My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children. I pursued my medical education with a focus on pediatrics and pediatric rheumatology, driven by a passion for helping young patients navigate their health challenges. My dedication to teaching and patient care continues to fuel my enthusiasm for my work, as I strive to provide the highest standard of care to every child I treat.
