Get to Know Me

I am a psychiatrist with more than 25 years of experience in caring for people with medical illnesses. Helping people with cancer and their families deal with emotional issues and witnessing the positive results from their medical treatments have been the most satisfying aspects of my work.

I am board certified in both psychiatry and the subspecialty of psychosomatic medicine. I am a distinguished fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and a fellow of the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine. I am a past president of the New York County branch of the American Psychiatric Association and am presently co-chair of their public affairs committee. My ideals regarding judicious and ethical psychiatric practice are well outlined in numerous published letters to the New York Times.

What I Do at MSK

I'm a psychiatrist (sy-KY-uh-trist), which is a doctor with special training in mental, emotional, and behavioral health. I can prescribe medicine to help with these issues.
