About Me
As a postgraduate, I studied chemistry, which can be challenging but came easy to me. I thought I wanted to pursue a scientific career until I realized it lacked a direct impact on people’s lives. That is when I decided to go to medical school. I loved learning and enjoyed all specialties. However, the minute I entered the world of obstetrics and gynecology, I knew it was right for me. I connect with women and enjoy providing care to them throughout their lifetime.
I am a great believer in preventive medicine, from screenings to annual exams. I particularly enjoy educating and counseling adolescents about contraception, sexually transmitted diseases, and family planning.
I provide gynecologic services in Manhattan, where people see me for routine care or when they are having abnormal bleeding, painful periods, or any gynecology-related concern. I perform Pap tests to screen for cervical cancer and, when necessary, colposcopy, a procedure for closely examining the cervix, vagina, and vulva. I use LEEP—loop electrosurgical excision procedure—as an outpatient procedure to remove abnormal cervical tissue.
What I enjoy most are the one-on-one conversations I have with my patients to engage them in their care. I do my best to explain things in a way that recognizes people’s cultural differences and respects their beliefs, desires, and fears.
