Summary
- I am a pediatric physician in New York City. Clinically, I am trained in delivering family-centered care for patients with increased behavioral, developmental and medical needs in early childhood.
My research examines the role of economic support policies, including tax policy and energy assistance, in addressing social needs, child health and healthcare spending, starting in early childhood.
