Mahatama Ghandi once said “Be the change you wish to see,” and this quote has been a guiding principle in my life and medical practice.
As a woman of color, as a first generation immigrant, as a mother of two, I have devoted my career in the service of overcoming historic health inequities by placing an emphasis on high quality and emphatic patient care for all.
Once I immigrated to America, I pursued my residency in Internal Medicine at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center. Working as primary care physician in Brooklyn and Long Island for last 20 years, I grew to develop long lasting and deep connections with my patients of different backgrounds.
My experience allowed me to develop effective, practical, culturally competent and holistic treatment plans as well as promote preventative medicine practices in my patients daily lifestyles. Witnessing the lack of comprehensive medical attention towards women's needs motivated me to work towards change by emphasizing women's health in my practice. This approach to medical care has continued with me into my current practice which is the key to my success in advancing the health and happiness of all my patients.
