I’ve worked in various medical sectors, including Gouverneur Healthcare Services, a community-based clinic in the Lower East Side and Maimonides Medical Center, Brooklyn. Both places challenged me and taught me so much, enriching my medical education and experiences. But, I  still felt unfulfilled. I knew that there was something out there that was meant for me to conquer. In 2006, I started my own medical practice. It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my medical career. I had no patients and initially rented a dingy room from a chiropractor who drove me nuts.

In March 2007, I had a serious injury that caused me to stop practicing medicine. It was devastating emotionally and physically. I had to shut my practice down and I didn’t know if I would ever re-open it or practice medicine the way I knew before. Although it was a major challenge, it allowed me to reflect on how lucky I am to be a doctor. With much struggle, I re-opened the practice and moved to a bigger and brighter office.

My patients teach me everyday and I treat people from all sectors of life: writers, doctors, lawyers, therapists, journalists, scientists, computer programmers, IT specialists, nannies, babysitters, bankers, housewives and the list goes on and on. It’s an honor and privilege to take care of my patients and even now, the breadth of my medical knowledge expands because of them.
