Get to Know Me

I’m a supportive care doctor who is an expert in managing symptoms and quality of life for people with cancer. I see patients at Memorial Hospital, the main hospital at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), and at the Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion in New York City.

I focus on addressing symptoms that may affect your quality of life. This includes pain, nausea, and fatigue. I support patients and families and help clarify their goals of care and values.

As a native Spanish speaker, I provide culturally sensitive and accessible care to Spanish-speaking patients. I work closely with a team of nurses, social workers, and chaplains to offer complete support to our patients in all areas of care.

What I Do at MSK

I'm a supportive care doctor, with special training in care that supports people with cancer. I help improve quality of life and manage the symptoms and side effects of cancer and its treatment.
