About Me

As a non-invasive cardiologist, I help patients navigate the complex process of diagnostic testing, medical options, and invasive procedures. I treat patients with a wide variety of cardiovascular conditions, including preventive cardiology strategies, managing complex cardiac illnesses, and preoperative assessment for surgery. My approach involves listening to my patients, understanding their symptoms, and contextualizing diagnostic tests to establish effective treatment goals.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing patient education, and research. I take pride in teaching not only medical students, advanced practitioners, and residents, but also my patients by empowering them to make informed decisions and set goals about their health.

I pursued my medical career driven by a passion for patient care and a commitment to improving outcomes. This journey involves close coordination with patients and the expertise of a team of interventional cardiologists and surgeons at NYU Langone to provide comprehensive treatment.
