About me

I'm a board-certified pediatrician and a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. I graduated from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry and completed my residency at Cohen Children's Medical Center, where I also served as Chief Resident in Pediatrics. I've spent my career caring for children here in New York, and I'm grateful to partner with families to support kids' health at every stage of growing up.

Approach to care

I believe great pediatric care starts with listening — to both the child and the parent. I take the time to answer your questions, explain what's going on in plain language, and make each visit feel comfortable and unhurried. My goal is to be a steady, trusted partner for your family as your child grows.
