As a psychiatrist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing compassionate care to my patients. My journey into medicine began as a humanities major in college. I was drawn to medicine as the ultimate humane and intellectually stimulating profession, and I have found my calling in the field of psychiatry, particularly in the treatment of schizophrenia.

With over 40 years of experience, I specialize in the management and study of schizophrenia. My extensive background includes both clinical care and research, allowing me to offer a unique blend of practical experience and cutting-edge knowledge. I have dedicated my career to understanding existing treatments and developing new, more effective approaches. My credentials and decades of practice underscore my expertise in this challenging field.

Throughout my career, I have emphasized the importance of second opinions and consultations, especially when treatment responses are unsatisfactory. My work has involved studying new pharmacologic treatments and exploring innovative neuromodulation approaches, such as using ultrasound to stimulate specific brain regions. Additionally, my team is investigating autoantibodies as potential treatment targets for some individuals with schizophrenia.

My educational journey and professional development have been driven by a deep commitment to helping patients with schizophrenia. I have received several prestigious awards, including the Wayne Fenton Award for Exceptional Clinical Care and the Research Award from the American Psychiatric Association. These recognitions reflect my dedication to quality patient care and my ongoing contributions to the field of psychiatric research.

At NYU Langone, I primarily offer consultation and second opinions. My goal is to build trust and rapport with each patient, leveraging my extensive experience and the latest research to provide the best possible outcomes.
