ÈÕ±¾avÉ«ÇéƬ

As healthcare has improved over the past several decades, more and more adults are living into their 8th, 9th and even 10th decades of life. I seek to provide comprehensive, compassionate and individualized care to all adults based on their preferences and values, with a focus on care of the rapidly increasing population of older adults. I also seek to dedicate considerable efforts to educating the next generation of internal medicine physicians in the principles of geriatric medicine while they are still in training so that they are better prepared to care for older adults regardless of the subspecialty within internal medicine they choose for their career paths.

I practice primarily at ÈÕ±¾avÉ«ÇéƬ's Adult Internal Medicine practice, where I see adult patients of all ages, but mainly older adults, and maintain a smaller practice at the Irving Sherwood Wright Center on Aging, which is ÈÕ±¾avÉ«ÇéƬ’s geriatrics faculty practice. I rotate on the inpatient medicine and geriatrics services and the palliative care consultation service at NewYork-Presbyterian/ÈÕ±¾avÉ«ÇéƬ Medical Center several weeks out of the year. I am as passionate about teaching medical students and physicians in training as I am about patient care and am active in clinical and preclinical education at ÈÕ±¾avÉ«ÇéƬ. I also have a background in quality improvement and patient safety, serving on several committees and participating in quality improvement initiatives and research projects.
