As a dedicated rheumatologist at NYU Langone, my philosophy of care revolves around balancing the benefits and risks of treatments to provide the best control with the least potential side effects. Throughout my medical journey, I became particularly fascinated by the immune system. It serves as our protector but can also inflict pain and suffering when unregulated. In my daily work, I focus on understanding the immune system’s role in rheumatologic conditions and finding the right treatments for my patients. This combination of science and patient care is what I truly enjoy.
I specialize in treating conditions related to joints, muscles, and autoimmune diseases, specifically for adult patients. With extensive training and years of experience in rheumatology, I am committed to helping patients regain their mobility and participate in their daily activities with minimal pain. My approach ensures that each treatment plan is tailored to the individual need of each patient.
Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, which extends to my research and clinical practice. I am inspired by my patients, especially those with severe joint pain who have regained the ability to walk with appropriate care over time, and return for follow-up appointments with minimal discomfort. These encounters reaffirm my commitment to being a rheumatologist and highlight the importance of patient engagement and responsiveness.
My journey into medicine began in college, following personal experiences with illness in my family. I was drawn to the complexity and importance of the immune system, which led me to specialize in rheumatology. I completed my medical school, residency, and fellowship with a focus on understanding and treating rheumatologic diseases. As part of NYU Langone, I am proud to offer coordinated care to my patients, ensuring a positive and comprehensive healthcare experience.
