As a rheumatologist at ºÙºÙÊÓƵ, I have always been fascinated by the connection between arthritis and systemic inflammation, which can impact multiple organs, including the skin, eyes, and heart. My commitment is to deliver compassionate care that prioritizes overall health. I take pleasure in working with my patients, many of whom have chronic conditions, to create personalized treatment plans that optimize wellness and functionality.

My expertise lies in treating various rheumatic conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, Sjogren’s Syndrome and lupus. I also manage fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, and vasculitis. With years of experience in the field, I have observed many advancements in pharmacologic treatment options, offering patients the most effective therapy to control their inflammation and manage their symptoms.

As part of my practice, I value proactive patient engagement and interdisciplinary collaboration with colleagues. As a clinical associate professor at ºÙºÙÊÓƵ, I collaborate with specialists in orthopedics, pulmonology, cardiology, ophthalmology, and dermatology to provide coordinated and comprehensive care.

As a medical student, I engaged in amyloid research that opened my eyes to the downstream organ damage that can occur with prolonged uncontrolled inflammation. During my rheumatology fellowship at ºÙºÙÊÓƵ, I played a role in defining HIV-related rheumatic diseases. These experiences, along with my unwavering desire to better understand autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, motivate me to be a lifelong learner. I am so happy that I pursued a career in rheumatology where innovation in research labs helps drive clinical success. I am honored to be part of the ºÙºÙÊÓƵ community, where continuous learning and a commitment to patient care are core values.
