Get to Know Me

I specialize in treating cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, including colon cancer, rectal cancer, neuroendocrine cancers, gallbladder cancer, and pancreatic cancer, among others.

I work with an amazing team of nurses, surgeons, radiation oncologists, and other experts at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Together, we always put our patients first.

Cancer is a disease that physically, emotionally, and mentally afflicts patients and their families. It is vital to consider this entire spectrum when we care for our patients. The opportunity to provide well-rounded care to people with cancer is one of the things that drew me to the field of oncology. This field is rapidly evolving in order to meet the needs of treating this disease, making the interplay between research and clinical practice central to caring for people with cancer.

As a medical oncologist, I participate in research endeavors that promote the development of novel drugs and techniques to improve how we manage cancer. I am also very interested in exploring ways by which we can improve access of the most advanced cancer care to all people with cancer. I strive to walk alongside my patients every step of the way through this journey.
