Bio
I was trained at Harvard and Medical school at Johns hopkins. I spent many years working in developing countries and am now in Private practice in Florida after four years at the University of Miami as Director of Executive Medicine and International Health. I am thrilled to be back in private practice spending time with patients and their families.
