About Me
I have been practicing obstetrics and gynecology since 1983, providing comprehensive care across all aspects of women’s health. I earned my undergraduate degree from New York University and received my medical degree from the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center.
My postgraduate training took place at North Shore University Hospital, a teaching affiliate of Cornell University Medical School, where I gained extensive clinical experience. My training also included gynecologic pathology at Columbia University’s Sloane Hospital for Women and gynecologic oncology as a Galloway Fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
During my career, I have been honored to conduct research with a Nobel Laureate in biochemistry at the Radcliffe Infirmary at Oxford University. Throughout my career, I have held numerous leadership roles, including serving as the first chief of obstetrics and gynecology at West Boca Medical Center, where I later became chief of staff.
I believe every patient deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and dignity. My practice is guided by evidence-based medicine, relying on the latest scientific research and clinical guidelines to ensure that every recommendation is grounded in proven, up-to-date studies. By combining this scientific knowledge with a personalized approach, I aim to provide the highest quality gynecologic care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
My goal is to build lasting relationships based on trust, respect, and a shared commitment to your health and well-being. Outside of my professional life, I am devoted to my family. I am happily married and the proud father of three children and grandfather of six.
