During my undergraduate years at the University of Toronto, my interest in the biological sciences grew. Physiology became of particular interest during my medical training, especially the interplay between signaling hormones. Endocrinology is the study of the body’s hormones and related disorders. Practicing this type of medicine allows for close interaction with patients, and I find these relationships to be very rewarding.

I treat people who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, thyroid conditions, and osteoporosis. I have an Endocrine Certification in Neck Ultrasound, which means I perform thyroid ultrasounds and biopsies to detect thyroid disorders, thyroid cancer, and parathyroid disease. I interpret continuous glucose monitors to aid in the management of diabetes. I also care for transgender people who require hormone therapy to facilitate gender confirming surgery. 

Here at ��������Ƶ Hospital—Long Island​, we take a team-oriented approach. My team and I believe our patients need to be taken care of in a way that caters to their unique needs and requirements. We have access to state-of-the-art technology and stay current with the latest advancements in medical care. We are also a teaching facility, which means we are always upgrading our skills and keep up with the latest research and guidelines.

I listen to my patients and strive to understand why they are seeking and requiring medical care. I like to understand their goals. If any barriers to treatment exist, I tailor my medical care to their needs.

I believe patients benefit the most when they understand the reasons behind their treatment plan. I clearly explain the condition and therapy plan, with the ultimate goal of making patients equal participants in their healthcare. With this approach, I find that my patients have a sense of control over their condition, which gives them more confidence in the care they receive.

I was awarded the Specialist Teaching Faculty Award by the State University of New York at Olean General Hospital in 2018 for my work with the residents of their family medicine training program. I am a board-certified endocrinologist and a member of the Endocrine Society and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.
