Summary

  • I am a board certified Anatomic Pathologist and Neuropathologist with a subspecialty interest in Head and Neck Pathology. I completed my clinical training at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University / New York-Presbyterian Hospital, New York. I currently work at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit as Senior Staff Pathologist and Associate Residency Program Director for Anatomic Pathology.
    Apart from clinical service to patients and their treating physicians, I am interested in LEAN management as it applies to health care and anatomic pathology laboratories.
