About

Philosophy of care

I care for my patients’ physical and emotional needs. As a cardiologist, I sometimes care for patients for 10 to 15 years. I get close to them, and they become part of my family. When I meet new patients, I like to learn what kind of person they are. I like to laugh with them and encourage them to share personal stories. It helps them relax and breaks down barriers that can prevent me from providing the best care.

Why I entered medicine

My grandfather, Rudolph, was a physician. In 1938, he fled Nazi Germany and came to New York City, where he cared for the immigrant population in Washington Heights. He passed away before I was born, but his legend lived on. He is my inspiration.

Personal interests

In my free time, I enjoy being at home with my family. We like to watch movies together. I also enjoy reading because I’m on a constant quest for knowledge. I am currently attending graduate school where I’m learning about management and financial responsibility. We’re constantly investing in technology at LVHN, and I want to have the education to help our health network make the wisest investments.
