Being a doctor is a terrific profession. It requires lifelong learning and a commitment to improving the lives of others. Growing up, the physicians in my community were engaging, energetic, curious, and friendly. I felt comfortable around them and admired them, which inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. I had the opportunity to do a rotation in dermatology as a medical student, and I immediately fell in love with the specialty.

As a dermatologist at ��ɫtv Langone, I treat men, women, and children. In my practice, I often treat many generations of the same family, and even extended family members, such as cousins, aunts, and uncles. I take great pride and satisfaction in knowing that my patients think highly enough of my skills and knowledge to refer their loved ones to me.

I offer some cosmetic treatments, such as Botox^® and Juvéderm^® fillers, chemical peels, and laser hair removal. My main focus, however, is medical dermatology. Medical dermatology is somewhat underrepresented in our profession, yet it’s in high demand—melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers, as well as benign, inflammatory, and disfiguring skin disorders are so common. I offer expert care and personalized treatments to people with these conditions, aiming to provide the best outcomes.

I enjoy the challenges of dermatology. This specialty tests my ability to diagnose disorders using vision and pattern recognition skills, and requires me to have surgical expertise and the ability to generate complex treatment plans quickly and efficiently. Finally, I am a wife and mother of three, and dermatology enables me to be there for my family. For me, it has been a good fit.
