About Me
As an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hand surgery at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to enhancing hand and wrist function and quality of life for my patients. My practice focuses on understanding individuals’ unique needs and tailoring treatment plans to help them achieve their personal goals. I take pride in running an efficient practice, respecting my patients' time, and providing the best possible care.
I specialize in managing complex conditions involving the bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves of the hand and wrist. My expertise includes treating fractures, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other hand and wrist disorders. The intricate nature of hand surgery demands a high level of technical skill and experience, which I have honed over years of dedicated practice. My goal is to help patients regain their ability to perform daily activities and return to their hobbies and recreational pursuits.
My team at NYU Langone includes physician assistants, occupational and physical therapists, neurologists, and rheumatologists. This collaborative approach ensures that my patients receive comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of their condition. Being part of a renowned academic medical institution allows me to access a wide range of resources for diagnosing and treating patients with hand and wrist conditions.
My journey into medicine began during my orthopedic surgery training when I discovered a passion for hand surgery. The complexity and precision required in this field captivated me, inspiring me to pursue it as my specialty. My educational background and rigorous training have equipped me with the skills necessary to provide exceptional care. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team dedicated to advancing the field of hand surgery and improving patient outcomes.
