Summary

• I am a compassionate and dedicated physician, American Board certified in Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, Hospice and Palliative Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine. My diverse medical background and extensive experience have shaped my holistic approach to patient care.
  
  
  My career began as a hospitalist, where I honed my skills in managing acute medical conditions. I then transitioned to lead an inpatient hospice unit, serving as a Hospice Medical Director. This role deepened my understanding of compassionate care and the importance of supporting patients and their families during the most challenging times.
  
  
  Currently, I serve as the Director of Inpatient Geriatric and Palliative Consult Service. This position allows me to blend my expertise in geriatrics and palliative care, ensuring that elderly patients receive the best possible care tailored to their unique needs.
  
  
  I am also deeply committed to preventative medicine. This commitment led me to certify in Obesity Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine, reflecting my passion for helping patients lead healthier lives. My approach is to seamlessly integrate lifestyle changes into patient care, promoting long-term wellness beyond the hospital setting.
  
  
  I believe in empowering my patients and their loved ones to make informed decisions during critical illnesses, and now, more than ever, in guiding them towards a healthier, more vibrant life. My goal is to deliver care that not only treats but also educates and inspires patients to embrace a holistic and proactive approach to their health.
