I am a dedicated and compassionate pulmonary and critical care physician, committed to providing exceptional care to patients with complex respiratory diseases and critical illnesses.
Before becoming a physician, I worked as an emergency medical technician (EMT) for the New York City Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for over 12 years. After graduating from the American University of Antigua with a medical degree, I completed a residency in internal medicine at Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre. I was named Resident of the Year. Subsequently, I received fellowship training in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, where I was selected Chief Fellow and Geisinger Fellow Teacher of the Year.
This intense training allowed me to refine my expertise in diagnosing and treating a broad range of respiratory conditions, including chronic lung diseases, interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary infections and lung cancer.
Additionally, I perform procedures and critical care management. I am certified in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a type of artificial life support that can help patients whose lungs and heart aren’t functioning correctly, allowing the body to rest.
I am actively involved in research and scholarly pursuits, having written a book chapter on lung transplantation and articles for medical journals. I have attended and presented at many national medical conferences and have participated in quality improvement projects.
I am from New York City and now reside in Coopersburg. In my free time, I enjoy watching the New York Mets baseball team, detailing my car and coming up with excuses for avoiding the gym.
