Get to Know Me

I am a breast surgeon who has been caring for people with breast cancer in the Harlem community for more than 30 years.

After completing my surgical training in 1979, I became actively involved in breast and cervical cancer screening in Harlem. I discovered that the majority of people who were newly diagnosed at that time had late-stage breast cancer and a very poor survival rate. That led me to focus on caring for people with breast cancer who live in Harlem. The majority of my patients now have early-stage disease, thanks to early detection at the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care, where my office is located.

What I Do at MSK

I'm a breast surgeon, which is a doctor with special training in breast surgery.
