Summary

  • I am a triple board-certified physician with broad experience across all facets of endocrinology, with a particular emphasis on obesity, diabetes and thyroid disorders. I believe that every patient is different and that effective care must be customized according to individual needs. I am a strong advocate for prevention rather than treatment – especially in regard to obesity and diabetes. I perform in-office thyroid ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules. I am board-certified in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism and Internal Medicine. I am one of less than 3000 physicians in the United States to be board certified for Obesity Medicine.
