What I Do

I’m a pulmonologist and critical care physician. My philosophy of care is to understand pathophysiology and integrate evidence appropriately into clinical practice. As a health care advocate, my goal is to be with my patients at every step of their journey. My special clinical interests include acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, hemodynamic monitoring, mechanical ventilation and pulmonary hypertension.

Why I Love My Work

I enjoy how understanding the pathophysiology leads to better outcomes. Complex clinical scenarios keep me motivated, modest and humbled.

Getting to Know Me

Outside of work, I enjoy stargazing, biking and exploring different Linux kernels.
