Summary

I am double board certified in pulmonary medicine and critical care medicine and have been in practice for more than 10 years. In the outpatient setting, I specialize in the treatment of adult pulmonary diseases including COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, chronic cough, sarcoidosis, and pulmonary infections. In addition, I am a critical care intensivist with a specific research interest in the clinical management of the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
