My career began at Beth Israel Medical Center/Continuum Health Partners in Manhattan, as a Physician-Scientist at that institution s newly established Institute for Head and Neck and Thyroid Cancer. I developed a basic science research laboratory, collaborating with senior investigators at the NYU School of Dental Medicine. My research was funded through a combination of national society and private foundation career development awards, and resulted in several publications, nationally recognized basic science research in head and neck oncology, and several national presentations and awards. In 2007, I was hired as Chief of the Division of Head and Neck Surgery at Long Island Jewish Medical Center (LIJ), in the early years of the (then) North Shore-LIJ Health System and North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute.

The Head and Neck Oncology Program at Northwell has now evolved into one of regional as well as national renown, with the ability to deliver sophisticated multidisciplinary surgical and nonsurgical head and neck oncologic care at multiple sites throughout our network.

In 2014, I was appointed Northwell Health Cancer Institute s first Director of Surgical Oncology, and served in this position until early 2019. In the Spring of 2019, I was appointed Director of Operations of the Northwell Health Cancer Institute. In this capacity I serve as the liaison between the Institute, its members, and the various hospitals and outpatient cancer treatment facilities throughout the Northwell network where cancer care is delivered. In 2015, I was appointed Chair of LIJ s Commission on Cancer (CoC) recognized Cancer Committee.

I am presently involved in defining and solidifying Cancer Institute oversight over inpatient cancer related resources and activities, as well as CoC standards. My clinical leadership and program building accomplishments have been recognized both regionally as well as nationally with an American Cancer Society Doctor of Distinction Award (2017), an American Head and Neck Society Presidential Citation (2017), and a position on the Advanced Training Council of the American Head and Neck Society.
