About me
I'm a board-certified Internist and Rheumatologist with over 5-years of physician leadership experience. As the daughter of Jamaican immigrants and a 10-year Harlem resident, I'm passionate about providing culturally competent care to patients of all backgrounds. I completed all of my medical training at Columbia University and always seek to incorporate the most innovative and effective treatments in my practice. My number one goal is to develop long-lasting relationships with my patients and to positively impact their health and lives.
Approach to patient care
I take a holistic, human-centered approach to patient care. Expect me to get to know you personally and to provide you with the right information so that we can work together to improve your health. Our entire team seeks to create an environment that's built on trust, open communication, and understanding.
