About Me
As a family medicine physician specializing in geriatrics at NYU Langone Geriatric Medicine Associates—Mineola, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. My daily work involves managing complex health conditions in older individuals, ensuring they receive the highest quality of care tailored to their unique needs.
I specialize in managing post-acute care, long-term care, and transitional care for older patients with multiple comorbidities. My expertise includes overseeing the progress of physical, occupational, and speech therapy, ensuring that each patient receives a holistic and coordinated treatment plan. By addressing their comprehensive health needs, I am dedicated to improving the quality of life for my patients and facilitating smooth transitions from hospital to home.
With more than a decade of experience in family medicine, I bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to my role at NYU Langone. My background includes serving as chief resident during my family medicine residency at Nassau University Medical Center, where I honed my leadership and clinical skills. Additionally, I supervise nurse practitioners and physician assistants, ensuring that our team delivers consistent and high-quality care.
I earned my doctor of osteopathic medicine degree from Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2012, following a master of business administration from the University of Phoenix and a bachelor of science in behavioral science specializing in psychology from New York Institute of Technology. My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others, particularly older patients. My involvement in professional organizations such as the American Osteopathic Association and the American Academy of Family Physicians reflects my commitment to staying current with advances in my field and continually improving patient care.
