As a musculoskeletal radiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care through the power of medical imaging. My passion lies in the ability to visualize and diagnose conditions that are pivotal to the treatment plans of our patients. In our digital age, imaging has become central to the care of most, if not all, patients within our health system. I am privileged to collaborate with esteemed colleagues in orthopedics, rheumatology, spine surgery, and oncology to deliver high-quality care.

I specialize in interpreting imaging studies, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), X-rays, and ultrasound. I also perform many imaging-guided procedures, including therapeutic injections, joint aspirations, and bone and soft tissue biopsies using fluoroscopy, ultrasound, or CT. With extensive training and more than 20 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. My credentials include board certification in radiology and fellowship training in musculoskeletal radiology, which have equipped me with the skills to manage complex cases effectively.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that patients receive the best possible care. My work extends beyond clinical responsibilities; as the executive chair of operations and director of quality and safety in the Department of Radiology, I strive to enhance the delivery of safe and efficient care. Integrating artificial intelligence in our department has been particularly exciting, promising greater accuracy in diagnosis and improved workflow management.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a fascination with the human body and the potential of medical technology to transform lives. I trained at some of the finest medical institutions in the country, which instilled in me a deep appreciation for excellence in patient care. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that continuously seeks to innovate and improve. I look forward to contributing to the future of radiology and supporting the next generation of radiologists.
