Director of Hudson Medical's telehealth program, delivering virtual care for patients who can't always make it in.
Listening – really listening. Patients with chronic pain have often been through a lot before they get to us. They’ve seen multiple providers, tried multiple treatments, and sometimes feel like nobody has taken their full picture seriously. I want every patient to leave an appointment feeling genuinely heard and with a clear understanding of what we’re doing next and why.
A lot of patients assume telehealth is only for minor issues. In pain management, virtual appointments are genuinely effective for consultations, follow-ups, medication reviews, and care coordination — you don’t always need to come in to get the information and guidance you need. For patients in the outer boroughs or with mobility limitations, it makes a real difference.
Growing up, my dream jobs were librarian and Rockette — so medicine was a bit of a detour. That said, the love of reading stuck. I can usually finish a book in two days, which my patients find either impressive or alarming depending on who you ask.
