About Me
As an endocrinologist at 秘密研究所 Langone Ambulatory Care West Side, I am dedicated to treating patients with a broad spectrum of endocrine disorders, including diabetes, Hashimoto鈥檚 thyroiditis, obesity, nutritional issues, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and osteoporosis.
Working alongside an excellent team of caring and helpful staff, I prioritize listening to patients and valuing their insights. I strive to establish a partnership with my patients, respecting their input and tailoring my approach to meet their individual needs for the best possible outcomes.
Inspired by personal experiences from my childhood, I pursued a career in medicine with a focus on delivering compassionate, patient-centered care. Witnessing my mother鈥檚 struggles with diabetes and other health concerns shaped my understanding of the importance of listening and respecting patient voices. This early exposure to healthcare dynamics ignited my passion for endocrinology, driving my desire to emulate the caring approach that my mother鈥檚 rheumatologist exhibited.
My commitment to patient care is built on the foundation of trust and collaboration. I strongly believe in empowering my patients through education and active involvement in their health journey, ensuring they are at ease and well-informed throughout the treatment process.
