About Me
With more than 30 years of experience in radiology, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive patient centric care. I specialize in diagnostic radiology with a focus on emergency radiology, a field that has evolved significantly since I first began my career. My experience will help our clinical programs, expand our research portfolio, and train the next generation of radiologists at NYU Langone.
Before moving to the United States in 2006, I was professor of radiodiagnosis at Lady Hardinge Medical College in New Delhi, India. My commitment to continuous learning and professional development led me to complete a fellowship in emergency radiology at the University of Michigan in 2006, where I was one of the first fellowship candidates in this emerging specialty. I also did a fellowship in body imaging at the University of Mississippi and board certification in radiology from Wake Forest Medical School. With 19 years of experience in the US, I have honed my skills in various imaging techniques, including advanced body imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
My journey into radiology was inspired by a desire to make a meaningful impact on patient care through accurate and timely diagnoses. I am particularly passionate about teaching and mentoring the next generation of radiologists, ensuring they are well-prepared to make informed decisions and provide the best possible care to their patients.
My experience spans in multiple states, including Michigan, North Carolina and Ohio, where I have worked in both academic and clinical settings, including the VA hospital and outpatient imaging centers. My roles have included faculty positions at various institutions, where I have been recognized for my scholarly teaching activities and dedication to patient care.
Joining NYU Langone in May 2023 has been a significant milestone in my career. The supportive and dynamic environment here inspired me to further develop my clinical practice, teaching, and scholarly activities. I have unwavering commitment to fulfill the mission of NYU Langone and look forward to continuing my journey towards academic excellence and leadership within this esteemed institution.
