Care Philosophy: I take a highly personal, individual, interactive, team approach to caring for my patients. I believe the most important aspects of providing quality care are listening to the needs of patients, thorough testing, communication, patient education, prevention of musculoskeletal injury and disease, presenting treatment options to the patient, establishing a relationship with my patients and involving patients in treatment plan.

Care Philosophy: I came to Cornell University Medical College In 1980 to start my Cardiology Fellowship training. There are many reasons I feel fortunate to have been able to continue at Weill Cornell Medical College. It has given me the opportunity to interact with an exceptional group of physicians, nurse practioners, and nurses in both cardiology and cardic surgery in a hospital which is equally well staffed in all other specialties. It has allowed me to do research in the area of regurgitant heart valve disease and to teach at many levels. Most of all it has made it possible for me to be part of a team capable of the highest level of care for any patient with cardiac disease. My highest recommendation is that , at my suggestion, many of my family and friends have come here for advanced care and I could not be more pleased with the results.

Care Philosophy: I am a medical oncologist who specializes in cancers of the lung and thymus. I work closely with our multidisciplinary team of expert thoracic surgeons, radiation oncologists, interventional radiologists, palliative care/pain management specialists, and nutritionists to provide comprehensive care for our patients. I view each patient and their disease as unique and work to manage their treatment accordingly, always keeping their goals in mind. In order to provide new hopes for the future of lung cancer treatment, our division is also involved in clinical research focusing on precsion medicine, immunotherapy, and novel therapeutics as well as laboratory research to better understand this disease.

Care Philosophy: The most important aspect of taking care of a patient is to help them understand their diagnosis and all their treatment options. We can then move forward with a team approach from the patient, the therapist, and myself to help them get back to work and activities as quickly as possible
