Job title: Assistant Attending Physician

Bio:

I am a medical oncologist focused exclusively on treating patients with melanoma. I see patients at the Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion and the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer in Manhattan.

In my clinical practice, I work with an expert team of surgeons, radiation oncologists, nurses, and administrative staff. Together, we aim to provide effective, evidence-based melanoma care tailored to each patient’s unique goals and preferences. In each visit, I prioritize discussing the ways that patients can access innovative treatments. This includes therapies approved for the treatment of melanoma, as well as clinical trials of promising new approaches.
