Truly honored to share that I have been recognized as a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctor. 🏆
This recognition is particularly meaningful because it is based on peer nominations and a rigorous screening process. To be included among the top 7% of physicians nationwide is a privilege I don’t take lightly.
I’m incredibly grateful to my colleagues for their trust and, most importantly, to my patients. Your resilience and trust are what drive me to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in pain management every day.
Looking forward to continuing this work at Mount Sinai and helping our community find relief and restoration in the year ahead. 🏥✨

This was an eye opening and somehow true fact (google and ChatGPT verified!) 🤯 I always teach my fellows to take care of the whole patient. I never knew it meant taking care of a whole universe! Does this fact resonate with you? Comment below
