Summary

  • I am a board certified sports medicine physician who also specializes in interventional spine and integrative medicine. I strive to provide excellent musculoskeletal care for my patients. I do this through my proficiency in diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound as well as ultrasound guided injections. I am also well versed and experienced in sideline coverage having been the team physician for all athletics at a NCAA division III school, Saint Joseph’s College, throughout my fellowship training. My interests are also in interventional spine and integrative medicine; I perform lumbar spine and hip fluoroscopic guided procedures and have obtained my medical license to perform medical acupuncture in the state of New York.
