Research My Research
Research Summary
I specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of children with complex ENT issues. Although I am a native of southern Suffolk County, Long Island, I have pursued my training in various regions of the United States. After graduating from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, I spent my surgical intern year in Hershey, PA, and then ventured to San Antonio, TX. In Texas, I completed my ENT residency. During residency, I gravitated early on towards the treatment of voice and airway disorders, but I also loved the surgical care of head and neck masses. Pediatric otolaryngology seemed the natural choice for me, because it combines expertise in airway intervention and reconstruction with a focus on congenital masses and/or disorders of the head and neck. In addition, I felt drawn to a career working with children.
Besides being the oldest of four kids, I also spent many years before residency working part-time as a swimming instructor and coach, and discovered that I excelled in interacting with children and their parents. I selected my pediatric ENT fellowship at Arkansas Children's Hospital based on their reputation for training in advanced pediatric otolaryngology. I focused on learning cutting-edge vascular anomaly care, complex airway reconstruction, and full-spectrum cleft lip and palate surgery. I also spent my two years there acquiring advanced skills in general pediatric otolaryngology, including the treatment of congenital neck masses, diseases of the tonsils and adenoids, and pediatric sinus disease.
After my years away, I've returned to my native state. My experiences in other parts of the country have broadened my understanding of conditions, climates, and cultures. I'm excited to bring what I've learned back with me to help the children of NYU Langone
