I have contributed to medical research, co-authoring a chapter in Clinical Informatics for Oncologic Emergencies, and have been recognized as a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association (2016) and one of America’s Top Doctors (2022).
What sets my approach apart is my dedication to clear communication and thorough medical assessments. I carefully review medical histories and reports to ensure precise, well-documented evaluations that help individuals navigate their claims and receive the support they need.
