Get to Know Me

I am a general pulmonologist. I see many outpatients with lung problems ranging from routine to esoteric conditions — not just those related to cancer. These medical issues include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, sarcoidosis, and many others.

As a result of training and working at MSK for many years, my interests and expertise are in lung problems that occur in patients being treated for cancer. Many of the lung problems cancer patients experience may be directly related to a cancer, whether it starts in the lung or elsewhere in the body. It may also be related to the treatment patients receive for cancer. I am an expert in respiratory infections in patients with suppressed immune systems and also in dealing with pre- and postoperative pulmonary issues.

I am the program director for the pulmonary medicine fellowship, which is a two-year training program in general lung diseases for junior doctors who want to become specialists. Trainees in this program learn to take care of patients with all types of lung diseases. They also participate in research projects and are mentored by members of the Pulmonary Service. Many of these projects are related to lung problems in cancer patients.

What I Do at MSK

I'm a pulmonologist (pull-muh-NAHL-uh-jist), which is a doctor with special training in the lungs.

Disclosures

Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.

MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
