Summary

  • I am Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Palliative Care and a Certified Wound Care Consultant. I am the founder and director of the East Harlem Health Outreach Partnership, a free clinic for the uninsured of East Harlem and the South Bronx. I am also a senior attending physician in the Visiting Doctors Program, the nation's largest academic primary care program for the homebound. I have particular interests in the delivery of care to vulnerable populations as well as in wound care. I have extensive experience in educating healthcare professional trainees in the care of the homebound and the uninsured.
