I am interested in the complete care of the surgical patient involving trauma, surgery in the acute and emergent setting, and surgery on an elective basis. I work with my patients and their families to come up with the best plan of care available including options for minimally invasive techniques as well as conventional surgery. Our team approach at Stony Brook Medicine helps to provide excellent patient care and outcomes while providing the latest techniques and expert care. My goal is provide high-quality and compassionate care for my patients that leaves them satisfied and healthy. My research interests include cancer cellular biology and angiogenesis; physiology of the trauma patient; injury prevention and outcome measures for adult and pediatric injuries; and education and mentoring of surgical fellows, residents, and medical students.
