About Me

What I Do at MSK
  • Physician Consultant
Get To Know Me

I am a critical care physician who specializes in the management of critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). I have experience using a variety of supportive measures, such as ventilatory and hemodynamic tools, to assist patients in the ICU setting. A large part of my career has been dedicated to developing protocols and other initiatives to improve patient care in the ICU. Broadly, these have included best practices for managing sepsis, blood, and therapeutic temperature in patients who experience cardiac arrest, as well as guidance aimed at preventing complications.
