From a young age, I wanted to help people and become a doctor. I was intrigued by the challenges of health-related complexities and was drawn to internal medicine. I was especially interested in the effects of medication on the human body and pursued further training in clinical pharmacology. I was always concerned about the care of older people, and realized that I could bring my expertise to the field of geriatric medicine.

I see a range of older patients, from those who are robust and highly functional to those with multiple conditions requiring special medical attention. I carefully listen to and advise patients who take multiple medications. My goal is to offer patients strategies to maintain health, avoid acute illness, and maximize function, as well as navigate through our complex healthcare delivery system.

At ��ɫtv Langone Hospital—Long Island I work with a team of experts who are highly trained in the special needs of older people. Our team is supported by social workers, psychologists, and pharmacy specialists. When our patients require hospitalization or are in a nursing home, we often provide care at those sites to provide streamlined care for people.

I have achieved fellowship status in internal medicine, clinical pharmacology, and geriatric medicine by their respective societies. My research has focused on medication issues in older people, the effects of vaccines, and system management.
