Biography

I am board certified in Internal Medicine and Critical Care Medicine in both Canada and the U.S. I work at the Roswell Park ICU treating critically ill patients suffering from shock, respiratory failure, complications of cancer treatments, advanced progression of cancer, and post-operative patients who have just received surgery to treat their cancer. My specific interest is communicating with families/patients and ensuring I am providing goal concordant care to patients based on their values and specific critical illness.
