My journey into medicine began first with an interest in science. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Stony Brook University. It was there that I built the foundation to achieve better insight into mechanisms underlying the disease processes I would study in medical school. After achieving my Doctor of Medicine degree, I left my native New York to pursue Internal Medicine training at the Morehouse School of Medicine in the greater Atlanta area. I continued to hone my skills as both a physician and an educator, serving as a chief medical resident and also an instructor in the department of internal medicine.

The study of kidney disease provided the platform upon which to combine a passion for physiology with the desire to help my community. As such, I returned to New York for Nephrology fellowship at NYU Winthrop Hospital. Through ongoing scholarship and a focus on patient centered care, I achieved an expertise in diagnosing and treating a vast array of kidney related entities.

My goal is to provide a comprehensive approach to the care of patients with renal disease. I will seek to design an effective treatment strategy to best meet each individual’s needs. My core values and extensive medical training offer me the opportunity to provide high quality healthcare in a compassionate and empathic manner. This serves as my guiding principle in medicine.
