As a non-invasive cardiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to enhancing cardiovascular health through patient-centered care. My approach focuses on using advanced imaging techniques to provide accurate diagnoses and effective management of cardiovascular conditions. I believe in the importance of personalized care and strive to ensure patients receive the attention and treatment they need to achieve optimal heart health.

I specialize in echocardiography and nuclear cardiology, employing these advanced imaging methods to diagnose and manage patients with conditions such as coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, heart failure, and valvular disease. By interpreting stress tests and other diagnostic studies, I provide detailed information that helps guide the treatment plans of referring physicians, ensuring comprehensive and effective care for patients.

My educational journey began at the New York University School of Medicine, where I earned my doctor of medicine degree in 2004. I completed my residency and chief residency in internal medicine, followed by a fellowship in cardiology at the same institution. I am board-certified in cardiovascular disease, echocardiography, and nuclear cardiology. My inspiration to pursue a career in medicine stemmed from a desire to make a meaningful impact on patients' lives through compassionate and expert care.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working at both NYU Langone and the VA New York Harbor Healthcare System. As the director of the cardiology clinic and the stress laboratory at the VA, I am committed to delivering high-quality cardiovascular care to Veterans, addressing their unique healthcare needs with compassion and expertise. My role involves supervising and interpreting stress tests, which are crucial for diagnosing and managing patients with various heart conditions.
