Summary
- After completing my Pediatric Residency at Atlantic Health/Goryeb Children’s Hospital, I went on to complete my subspecialty training and ultimately joined the faculty in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at the Golisano Children’s Hospital in Rochester, NY. I then came to the Kravis Children’s Hospital at Mount Sinai in New York as Director of Pediatric Neuro-Oncology and helped build the clinical brain tumor program. I subsequently moved to the Rutgers RWJ Cancer Institute of New Jersey to help establish the Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Program. My clinical duties include coverage of general Pediatric Hematology and Oncology patients in the inpatient and outpatient services, with my primary patient responsibilities involving children with brain and central nervous system tumors.
