History
I was born in this neighborhood(Flatbush ,Midwood ,Sheepshead Bay) and established my primary care medical practice here 26 years ago. After attending Columbia University, I studied medicine at Downstate Medical Center, and did my Internal Medicine Internship and Medical Residency at the Maimonides Medical Center, where I continue to maintain admitting privileges.I realize that in order to give excellent medical care a doctor has to be cutting edge and has to utilize all the latest technology.. My focus though is on the person. I love to spend time getting to know my patients so that I can treat them in a more complete fashion. I have a very strong connection to Brooklyn and this wonderful community, and consider it an honor to provide medical care as a family physician to my lifelong neighbors, some of whose families have been patients for multiple generations. a Taking care of the whole person as their general practice doctor gives me great satisfaction.
