Get to Know Me

I am a board-certified dermatologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), specializing in supportive oncodermatology. In this role, I care for patients suffering from a range of skin conditions due to their cancer treatments which may include chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, as well as targeted therapies. I have additional training in rheumatologic dermatology and inpatient dermatology.

I primarily see patients admitted to Memorial Hospital and in the clinics at the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at MSK. Once a week, I also see patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Basking Ridge in New Jersey. My goal is to provide compassionate and comprehensive care that addresses both the physical challenges of cancer treatment and the emotional well-being of my patients. I am dedicated to creating personalized treatment approaches tailored to the specific needs of each patient.

In both the clinic and hospital settings, I collaborate closely with oncologists and a team of dedicated healthcare professionals to deliver integrated and multidisciplinary care. Our efforts are focused on relieving skin problems, allowing patients to continue their cancer therapy with minimal disruption.
