I am a quality driven Pediatrician able to leverage my extensive training and background to primary care.

I started my career in New York City as a primary care pediatrician in private practice as well as a hospitalist. This allowed me to fine tune my skills in both the outpatient and inpatient settings. I relocated to the Dallas Fort Worth area in 2015 to be closer to family and currently practice in Las Colinas.
