Overview
I'm a New York born and bred pulmonary specialist who has been at Lenox Hill since beginning my practice in 1987. I completed medical school at New York Medical College in 1981, my internship and residency at Lenox Hill hospital and my fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care medicine at Long Island Jewish Hospital/ Queens General hospital. I also love to teach the fellows the art of Pulmonary Medicine, and most importantly the essence of humanism in our field. When I'm not seeing patients, I can be found woodworking and building boats.
