About Me
As a cardiothoracic anesthesiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for patients undergoing heart and lung surgeries, including transplants. My passion for this field stems from the profound impact heart disease has on individuals of all ages and the critical role anesthesiologists play in ensuring successful surgical outcomes. I find immense satisfaction in supporting both pediatric and adult patients through these challenging times.
I specialize in anesthesiology for heart and lung surgeries, with a particular focus on transplants. With years of experience, I have honed my skills to deliver the highest standard of care during the perioperative period. As the director of heart and lung transplant anesthesiology, I work closely with our surgical team to ensure seamless, state-of-the-art medical care. Additionally, I lead the cardiothoracic anesthesiology fellowship program, where I am committed to training the next generation of anesthesiologists, emphasizing the importance of quality education and mentorship.
Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in research and development within the field of cardiothoracic anesthesiology. My current research interests include exploring diversity in our specialty, advancing heart transplant techniques, and addressing atrial fibrillation in cardiac and thoracic patients. This dedication to research ensures that we continually improve patient outcomes and stay at the forefront of medical advancements.
My journey into medicine was inspired by the guidance and education I received from my mentors. This experience drives my commitment to teaching and training fellows to become skilled and compassionate cardiothoracic anesthesiologists. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a collaborative team that prioritizes comprehensive and coordinated care for our patients, ensuring they receive the best possible outcomes.
