Get to Know Me

I am an anesthesiologist specializing in pediatric pain management and palliative care who has been a member of the interdisciplinary Pediatric Pain and Palliative Care Team (PACT) at MSK Kids since 2016. In this role, I provide a range of services to enhance my patients’ well-being, including the full range of palliative care, regional anesthesia, and interventional pain management.

Palliative care providers like me work to ensure the comfort of patients facing a chronic or serious illness such as cancer from the moment of diagnosis and beyond. We collaborate with patients, their families, and their primary care teams to ensure that their concerns, needs, and values are recognized and supported throughout the care journey.

As part of PACT, I help manage pain, nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath, and other distressing symptoms during a hospital stay or at home. Our team maintains relationships with patients and their loved ones after they are discharged from the hospital, providing support through all stages of illness.

Overall, pediatric palliative care with integrated pain management techniques are very beneficial for patients. In both my patient care and academic work, I strive to improve patient safety, satisfaction, and quality of care. As such, I offer research-based services to patients and their families to help make each day the best that it can be.

Disclosures

Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.

MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
