I am a breast medical oncologist at Memorial Cancer Institute, where I diagnose and manage care for patients with all stages of breast cancer.

I trained at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, and during my fellowship, I felt an extraordinary connection with my breast cancer patients. Before joining Memorial in 2016, I was an attending physician and lead research physician at the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center in Bronx, New York, where I also served as an Institutional Board Review Member.

When working with patients and their families, I always explain their specific type of cancer, the stage and available options so they can participate actively in decision-making. I want my patients to feel comfortable, secure, and confident in their care. Family support and engagement are also vital, and we involve patients and their loved ones every step of the way.

Our resources here at Memorial for patients and physicians are above and beyond. They enable us to deliver the best treatments and care for breast cancer and offer patients the support and care they need throughout the process.
