Biography
I am a board-certified pulmonologist and Fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine with more than 20 years of experience in pulmonary and sleep medicine. Throughout my career, I have cared for patients with a broad range of respiratory and sleep disorders in outpatient, inpatient, and specialty practice settings.
After completing my training in pulmonary and sleep medicine, I practiced in both New York and Miami, Florida. My clinical experience includes evaluating and managing complex pulmonary conditions and sleep disorders, performing bronchoscopy, interpreting sleep studies and pulmonary function tests, and serving as a Sleep Laboratory Medical Director.
I approach patient care by listening carefully, communicating clearly, and developing individualized treatment plans. I believe a strong physician-patient relationship is essential to excellent medical care. My goal is for patients to feel comfortable asking questions, understand their conditions and treatment options, and feel supported as we work together to improve their health and quality of life.
I look forward to becoming part of the Buffalo community, building lasting relationships with my patients and colleagues, and continuing to provide thoughtful, compassionate pulmonary care.
