About Me
I am a hematologist and oncologist at Memorial Cancer Institute where I specialize in caring for patients with blood disorders and cancer. As a medical oncologist, I treat patients with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and other treatments.
I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career in medicine. It allows me to blend my passion for the sciences with a love for working with people. After completing my medical degree in India, I completed training in New York and continued to work there for many years as an assistant professor of medicine at New York Medical College and an attending physician at Metropolitan Hospital Center, New York.
The field of oncology and the treatment of cancer has come a long way and continues to evolve as we find new ways to treat, cure, and control the disease. At Memorial, we personalize treatment for each patient based on your symptoms and goals. We provide the available options and our expertise, and couple that with your goals and needs to make decisions about your care. It’s a true partnership.
The Memorial Cancer Institute is a big asset to the community. We have all disciplines and subspecialists in oncology under one roof, collaborating to care for you. In addition to doctors, surgeons, and specialists, we also have social workers, psychologists, dieticians, and integrative medicine. It’s a wholesome, whole-person approach to cancer care.
Receiving a cancer diagnosis can still be scary. But with the evolution of cancer care and the support of the Memorial Cancer Institute, there is hope.
