Get To Know Me
Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I view healthcare as a lifelong partnership. My focus isn't just on solving today’s challenges, but on building a foundation for your health in the years to come. My practice integrates prevention with the field’s latest imaging advancements to manage both simple and complex cases with clinical precision. Above all, I am committed to a patient-centered approach, taking the time to ensure every individual feels heard, educated, and supported through an empathetic and transparent path to managing their health.
What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
My goal is for every patient to leave their appointment with total clarity. I encourage shared decision-making, as I believe patients achieve the best results when they are active architects of their own care.
How do you spend your valuable personal time when you are not caring for patients?
Beyond my clinical practice, I’m an avid explorer trying to discover hidden gems of both the Hudson Valley and New York City. I enjoy the quiet charm of local bookstores, traveling to new destinations and taking dance lessons with my husband. Above all, I value spending time reconnecting with my friends and family.
Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose cardiology because it offers a unique opportunity to practice high-impact medicine where early intervention is truly transformative. There are always new things to learn since no two days on the job look the same and innovations in the field occur at an astonishing rate. It is incredibly fulfilling to witness the immediate, tangible improvements in a patient’s quality of life that specialized cardiovascular care can provide.
