I have always been captivated by the science of medicine and the profound impact it can have on people’s lives. As a physician specializing in palliative care at ��ɫtv Langone, I am dedicated to building meaningful relationships with my patients and collaboratively developing the best treatment plans. My approach to care is holistic, focusing on both the underlying medical conditions and the personal experiences of each patient. This allows me to provide comprehensive and compassionate care that addresses the unique needs of individuals facing serious illnesses.

In my practice, I manage advanced illnesses both in the hospital and in outpatient settings. I employ a multidisciplinary approach, integrating social work, chaplaincy, and nutrition services alongside medical care to create individualized care plans. Palliative care, or supportive oncology, is a perfect blend of science and relationships, aimed at helping each person live as long and as well as possible. I often see patients during their infusion appointments, ensuring that their symptoms and concerns are addressed seamlessly alongside their oncology care.

I care for adult patients with serious illnesses such as cancer or advanced organ disease, focusing on symptom management, communication facilitation, and complex medical decision-making. My outpatient practice is based at the Perlmutter Cancer Center, where I work closely with patients undergoing cancer treatment. In the hospital, I provide comprehensive symptom management and care coordination for patients with various disease processes. I assure my patients that we have an extensive toolbox of medications and resources, and we are never out of options to help them feel better.

Beyond patient care, I am passionate about teaching and mentoring the next generation of medical professionals. I lead communication workshops, deliver lectures, and serve on the hospital ethics committee. My research, currently focused on palliative care involvement with patients with advanced hematologic malignancies, aims to improve patient-perceived quality of life and end-of-life outcomes. I have presented my research at national conferences and published in multiple medical journals.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a deep desire to help others and a fascination with the complexities of the human body. I am currently pursuing a PhD to further my research in palliative care. At ��ɫtv Langone, I am committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered care and fostering long-term relationships with my patients to help them live as well as they can, for as long as they can.
