Get to Know Me

I am a pulmonologist who can diagnose and manage a broad range of pulmonary diseases. My goal is to deliver compassionate care and manage complex medical conditions especially in patients with pulmonary complications related to cancer and cancer therapy.

I also help manage chronic conditions such as interstitial lung diseases and bronchiectasis. In addition, I am extensively trained in pulmonary procedures such as thoracentesis, pleural catheter placement, as well as bronchoscopy, including endobronchial ultrasound, to perform lung tissue and lymph node sampling.

I see patients at the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and at Memorial Hospital.

What I Do at MSK
