With over 15 years of experience in peri-operative medicine, my passion lies in the field of cosmetics and aesthetics. My journey began at a young age when I underwent ENT surgery, sparking my fascination with understanding how things work. This curiosity drove me to pursue a career in science and medicine, eventually leading to my specialization in anesthesiology.

My medical training was grounded in the scientific foundations of medicine, and I earned an MD with distinction in research from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Following this, I underwent anesthesiology residency and gained expertise in Obstetrical Anesthesiology and Translational Science.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in high-risk OB anesthesiology, advanced spine cases, and general operative cases. Additionally, I have been fortunate to receive grant funding from the National Institute of Health (NIH) for my scientific research, and I have served on national scientific advisory boards in my field.

As my journey progressed, I transitioned to focus on cosmetic surgery through private practice. Today, I am dedicated to providing exceptional cosmetic anesthesia care, tailoring personalized anesthesia plans to meet the specific needs and desires of each patient. Your well-being and satisfaction are my utmost priorities throughout your cosmetic journey. Thank you for entrusting me with your cosmetic care.
