Get to Know Me

As an intensivist, I take care of patients who are critically ill and placed in a specialized intensive care unit in the hospital. Here, patients receive close monitoring and treatment for complex medical problems.

I became interested in this type of medicine while caring for people with COVID-19 during my residency training. My goal as a critical care doctor is to provide the best and most compassionate care to each patient.

I recognize the importance of patient values and preferences when deciding the best treatment approach for each person. I am board certified in internal medicine, pulmonary (lung) disease and critical care medicine.

What I Do at MSK

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).
