As a dedicated general and trauma surgeon at NYU Langone, I am committed to delivering compassionate care to my patients. My fascination with the complexities of the human body and the immediate impact of surgical intervention drives my passion for medicine and surgery.

I specialize in managing general surgery conditions, acute traumatic injuries and critical surgical emergencies. My expertise includes operative trauma and abdominal surgery, perioperative management, and surgical critical care. My training allows me to treat a wide range of conditions, including skin and soft tissue infections, acute biliary disease, small bowel obstructions, appendicitis, and hernias.

My educational journey began with a deep-seated interest in medicine, inspired by witnessing the compassionate care provided by healthcare professionals. My training in general and trauma surgery, along with a fellowship in surgical critical care, has equipped me with the skills to navigate complex medical situations and provide the best possible care for surgical patients.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that patients and their families are well-informed and supported during their care journey. My approach emphasizes clear communication, compassionate care, and coordinating treatment across various specialties. This dedication to patient engagement and responsiveness ensures a positive and comprehensive care experience.
