About
As a pulmonary and critical care physician, I am committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care with a strong focus on health equity. I advocate for underserved populations and work to ensure that all patients receive respectful, high-quality treatment regardless of their background. I’m also deeply passionate about teaching and mentoring the next generation of physicians, and I find great fulfillment in contributing to both clinical care and medical education at Temple Health.
