About Me

What I Do at MSK
  • Associate Attending Neuro-Oncologist
Get To Know Me

I am a neuro-oncologist who specializes in the care of people with brain tumors and the neurologic complications of cancer and its treatments. I focus on providing specialized care and clinical trial options to patients. I see patients at the Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion and MSK Westchester in New York, and MSK Bergen in Montvale, New Jersey. Working closely with a multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, nurses, and research staff, my goal is to deliver high-quality, and compassionate care in the treatment of brain tumors including: 

A brain cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, and I aim to provide expert, personalized, and compassionate care to patients. My patients and I take the journey together, from finding hope, going through treatment, to monitoring their health conditions. 

I am excited to work as a neuro-oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where advances in treatment continue to lead us to our mission of ending cancer for life. I aim for each patient to have confidence that our multidisciplinary team offers the latest and best treatment options for their needs. Beyond being a physician, I see myself as a trusted guide to help patients through physical and neurocognitive challenges. Their stories and journey are at the heart of the care I provide.
