"As a medical doctor, I’m able to consider the underlying causes for your concerns and use that to adjust treatments to meet your needs"

My approach is centered on the individual. I believe that truly helping someone means understanding who they are, what they need, and how they uniquely respond.  I began my career as a Registered Dietitian, with a focus on obesity medicine. My interest in understanding health from a broader perspective led me to medical school, where I became a physician and board-certified in Pediatrics. I also earned a Master of Public Health with an emphasis in Epidemiology, which deepened my understanding of disease prevention, health, and the factors that influence long-term outcomes.  My continued interest in obesity medicine eventually led me to become board-certified in Obesity Medicine and to establish a Pediatric Obesity Medicine clinic at Stony Brook University. As my career evolved, so did my understanding of what it means to truly help people. I began working in aesthetics and soon became deeply interested in Hormone Replacement Therapy. I saw that people could receive the same treatment and have very different responses. That experience made me realize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health, aging, hormones, or aesthetics.  I began exploring how conventional medicine could be thoughtfully integrated with complementary approaches. Through a friend, I was introduced to longevity medicine, which brought many of these interests together and gave me a broader and more individualized way of looking at health.  Today, my philosophy is simple: understand the person first, then determine the approach.  I want to create a practice that brings together medicine, longevity, hormones, nutrition, aesthetics, and wellness—but always with the individual at the center.  Ultimately, this isn't about becoming someone else. it's about becoming a healthier, stronger, more confident version of yourself—while still being completely you.  I finally found who I am and I want the people who come through my doors to have that same opportunity: to feel better, look their best, and discover a healthier, better version of who they already are.
