Get to Know Me

I am board certified in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine and have experience at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in both cancer survivorship and integrative medicine. I am the Director of Pediatric Integrative Medicine (Peds IM), with a consultative practice as well as oversight of the Peds IM program and have a CBD/medical cannabis consultative service.

These practices help guide active patients and survivors, as well as their caregivers, toward important and needed integrative therapies while advancing the mission of providing personalized care through and after cancer diagnosis. I also do inpatient medical consults with the General Internal Medicine Service.
