Summary
- I am a triple-board certified Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Physician at the Cleveland Clinic specializing in lung transplantation medicine. I started my training at Drexel University College of Medicine, completed my medical residency at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, specialized in pulmonary and critical care medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and completed a rigorous secondary fellowship at Penn in lung transplantation and advanced lung disease medicine. I am Associate Staff at the Cleveland Clinic as well as Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine / Case Western Reserve University. I am interested in the care and management of cystic fibrosis patients pre- and post- lung transplantation. I am also intrigued by neurocognitive decline, which can be a part of the post-transplant course. I strive for efficiency, comprehensiveness, and accuracy (while maintaining a personal touch) in all patient interactions, hence I am interested in fostering the shared medical encounter paradigm as a part of our daily practice in lung transplant medicine.
