I am a firm believer in treating patients holistically, focusing on the patient as a whole individual. Empowering my patients to take control of their health is paramount to me. By equipping them with the latest knowledge in medical advancements, I ensure they are well-informed and play an active role in their care journey.
I am a board-certified physician in internal medicine, pulmonology, critical care medicine, and critical care echocardiography. I attended the University of New Mexico Medical School, followed by a residency at Thomas Jefferson University. Subsequently, I completed my fellowship at the Mount Sinai – National Jewish Health Respiratory Institute. My focus is on diagnosing and managing complex respiratory illnesses, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and interstitial lung disease. I am committed to delivering the highest standards of patient-centered care, ensuring each individual receives evidence-based, personalized treatment aligned with the most recent advancements in the field.
Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about physical fitness. Staying active not only keeps me fit but also serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining good health, a principle I constantly emphasize to my patients.
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions from our nationally recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
