He has received several departmental commendations, including the Chiefs’ Camaraderie Award and the Charles Vaughan Excellence in Clinical Teaching Award. His clinical practice is focused on adult and pediatric sleep apnea, and his research interests are focused on sleep apnea and snoring, as well as social determinant of health. He is also interested in resident and medical student education.
He received his Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Cornell University and graduated from medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his residency in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at Boston Medical Center in 2014, joining the faculty upon graduating. He practices as a General Otolaryngologist, dividing his time between Boston Medical Center and the VA Medical Center in Boston.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility
One of the reasons I wanted to train at Boston Medical Center for residency, and subsequently chose to remain as faculty, was to work at an institution with a deep commitment to serving patients who come from traditionally marginalized segments of our society, including immigrants, the incarcerated, racial minorities, and those from socio-economically disadvantaged areas. An unexpected opportunity during my training was caring for transgender patients, under the supervision of Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel, a pioneer of facial feminization surgery for male to female transgender patients. These experiences as a trainee further reinforced my desire to continue my work at Boston Medical Center, allowing me to continue to work with patients from a diverse set of racial, gender, and geographic backgrounds, ensuring access to care for all.
Since joining the faculty, I have worked to expand the diversity of our profession through myservice on the medical school admissions committee, where we take a holistic view of applications and prioritize recruiting a medical school class that reflects the diversity of the population we serve as well as the population of our country as a whole. I also volunteer to serve on the anti-racism task force within the medical school admissions committee, which started following the increased emphasis on this aspect of our mission as a result of the work of the Black Lives Matter Movement.
Additionally, much of my clinical research has focused on the effect of patient socio-economic status in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea.
I am dedicated to creating a working and learning community that promotes access to care for all patients, welcomes students and trainees from a variety of backgrounds, and creates access to opportunities for a diverse collection of colleagues.
