"I chose to specialize in internal medicine because it’s the ideal combination of science and holistic care. It allows me to treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I see patients for their annual physicals and provide vaccinations, as well as treat them for high blood pressure, allergies, asthma, and chronic conditions. I focus largely on preventive care, so I take the time to get to know my patients and understand and address their individual health concerns and needs. When I began my practice, I found that there wasn’t always enough time to connect with my patients, which is why I started offering concierge medicine services. With this service, I provide people with extensive annual medical exams along with close follow-up care for any current or future health concerns, with little to no wait time and same-day or next-day appointments. If clinically necessary, I make home visits, and will see patients on the weekends when availability allows. Patients have direct access to me through my personal cell phone or by messaging me on the NYU Langone Health app. I treat patients in both ambulatory and hospital settings, so I’m able to coordinate their care from the emergency room to the hospital and back to my practice after discharge. I’m accessible to my patients through every stage of their care, creating a more seamless and personalized healthcare experience.
