Get to Know Me

I am a board-certified dermatologist, with special interest in skin cancer screening. My clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating skin cancers, such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.

When needed, I use the latest skin cancer detection tools including dermoscopy, 3D total body photography, and reflectance confocal microscopy. I see patients at the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

When not seeing patients, I am focused on research in skin cancer detection, including using artificial intelligence for cancer screening and diagnosis of melanoma.

Outside of the hospital, I love taking walks in Central Park with my family and mini goldendoodle.
