Summary

  • After closing a private medical office of 15 years, I took a position for the Department of Corrections in Somers,Ct. In 2018, I resigned as Chief Medical Officer for the State of Connecticut Department of Corrections.
    Currently working as Medical Director at Eastern Connecticut State University.
