I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to practice medicine. It allows me to use my love of biology to help people. I was drawn to endocrinology because it requires me to be a medical detective: I examine patients and talk to them about their symptoms, order tests, and then use all the information I’ve gathered to determine the cause and provide them with the right treatment. Because many endocrine disorders are chronic, I establish long-term relationships with my patients, and I find that particularly rewarding.

As an endocrinologist, I treat people who have glandular disorders, including diabetes, thyroid disorders, menstrual and fertility disorders, and osteoporosis. These disorders affect the entire body, not just a particular gland, so I believe in treating the whole person, mind and body.

At ��ɫtv Langone, we have the resources of a large academic medical center while offering personalized care. My fellow endocrinologists and I meet regularly with our colleagues in other specialties, including surgery, radiology, and pathology, to discuss cases and provide our patients with comprehensive care.

I have been involved in clinical trials that develop innovative drugs and treatment modalities. I am also a member of ��ɫtv Langone’s Thyroid Unit. As a clinical associate professor, I teach at ��ɫtv Grossman School of Medicine and help educate medical students, residents, and endocrinology fellows.

I have been featured in New York Magazine’s “Best Doctors in New York” issue, Castle Connolly’s “Top Doctors” series for the New York metro area, and U.S. News & World Report’s U.S. News Top Doctor series. In addition, I have been recognized by New York Super Doctors^® and am a recurring guest on SiriusXM’s Doctor Radio station.

I belong to the American Diabetes Association, American Thyroid Association, Endocrine Society, and American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists. I am board-certified in internal medicine and endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism.
