Get to Know Me

I am a board-certified anesthesiologist with additional specialized training in critical care medicine. My clinical responsibilities include providing anesthetic care for a variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures, with a focus on thoracic anesthesia. In addition, I care for people with life-threatening conditions who have been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Memorial Sloan Kettering. My academic interests include point-of-care (bedside) ultrasound evaluation of the heart, lungs, and abdomen, optimal management of severe sepsis and septic shock, and systemic effects of immunotherapeutic and cellular agents used to treat a variety of cancers. I am also involved in educating medical students, residents, and fellows.

What I Do at MSK

I'm an anesthesiologist at MSK. An anesthesiologist (a-nes-THEE-zee-AH-loh-jist) is a doctor with special training in medicine to make you drowsy or sleep during your surgery or procedure. They monitor your vital signs while you're asleep.

I'm an intensivist (in-TEN-sih-vist), a doctor who treats patients who are very sick. They often work in the intensive care unit (ICU).
