Get to Know Me

I am an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in caring for people with primary bone cancer, soft tissue sarcomas, and metastatic cancer that has spread to the bone. I also have expertise in treating non-cancerous bone and soft tissue tumors.

I see patients at Memorial Hospital and the Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion in Manhattan, and at Memorial Sloan Kettering Basking Ridge in New Jersey.

Cancer is often overwhelming and scary. I consider it an honor to help people and their family members through difficult times. As a cancer specialist, I spend a lot of time with patients, which enables me to develop strong relationships. Helping them get well and back to their lives makes everything worth it.

I have special expertise in preserving limb function after bone cancer surgery. Many people with bone cancer are concerned about functional recovery. I believe in doing everything possible to help them maintain their mobility.

Advances in chemotherapy and immunotherapy are allowing people to live longer than before, so we are searching for more durable treatments that are individually tailored for each person. I have found that patient goals can vary and aren’t always what we expect, so discussing them up front is very helpful.

After an office visit with me, I want patients to feel that their concerns and wishes have been heard. I also strive for them to be confident in the treatment plan that we have designed.

What I Do at MSK

I'm an orthopaedic (OR-thuh-PEE-dik) surgeon, which is a doctor with special training in surgery on the musculoskeletal system. This includes the bones, joints, tendons, and muscles.

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.

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.
