EnglishI am an internist and a transplant nephrologist with an interest in transplant medicine and adult kidney disease. My goal is to work with our patients to provide excellent care, a listening ear, and be a member of a great team here at the St. Luke's University Health Network.
I enjoy teaching and learning new things everyday from our patients, students, and those around us. Being from the suburbs of Philadelphia, I also have an affinity for the outdoors including biking and hiking.
