About Me
As a member of the cardiac team at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, I have the privilege of caring for the sickest patients and carrying them past a very traumatic time in their lives. My decision to become a doctor was driven by a strong desire to serve others.
I see patients with blockages in the arteries, malfunctioning heart valves, and aneurysms, which are enlargements of the aorta. Besides experience in complex bypass surgery, I have a special expertise in heart valve repairs, especially mitral valve prolapse.
When caring for patients with cardiac problems, I am dedicated to the Heart Team Approach, in which an entire team of cardiac specialists, rather than an individual doctor, helps make decisions about patient care. This evidence-based treatment strategy may entail consulting the patient’s primary care physician, cardiologist, and other medical specialties.
Even if a patient is sent to me for surgery, the team approach evaluates all treatment methods. Ultimately, the team may conclude that a stent procedure or only medication could result in the best outcome for the patient. Numerous studies have shown that the team approach yields better outcomes for patients. Striving to achieve the best patient outcomes has always been my philosophy in practicing medicine.
