HIV Primary Care Physician & Infectious Diseases Researcher
Weill Cornell Medicine | NewYork-Presbyterian
I am an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, where I provide HIV primary care and infectious diseases care.
My research focuses on improving care for people with infectious diseases and substance use disorders. I study how treatment options and health systems shape access to care, treatment completion, and outcomes.
I provide HIV primary care and general infectious diseases care for adults. My approach emphasizes evidence-based prevention and treatment, clear explanations, and shared decision-making. I consider mental health, substance use, and social circumstances alongside medical needs, and work with patients to develop practical plans that fit their lives.
I practice at the Center for Special Studies at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City.
I am not currently accepting new patients, but please contact the office directly through Weill Cornell Medicine to see one of my colleagues.
Weill Cornell practice informationMy research examines how to make effective treatment more accessible and practical for people with infectious diseases, particularly those affected by substance use. My work spans health services research and quality improvement, with a focus on care during hospitalization and after discharge.
Hospitalization offers an opportunity to connect people with hepatitis C to treatment, particularly when outpatient follow-up is difficult. Cs the Day is a quality improvement initiative at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital that integrates hepatitis C assessment and treatment planning into hospital care. The project aims to reduce missed opportunities for treatment and improve continuity after discharge.
Supported by a grant from the NewYork-Presbyterian Dalio Center for Health Justice.
Explore Cs the Day & project materialsPeople hospitalized with drug use-associated infective endocarditis may leave before the recommended course of treatment is complete. Using Medicaid claims data, this project examines outpatient antibiotic treatment and subsequent healthcare use after patient-directed discharge. The goal is to inform practical approaches to supporting patients after they leave the hospital.
Supported by a CHERISH pilot grant.
Planned research / work in progress
I am developing a research program examining the potential role of long-acting antibiotics in emergency department care. This work will explore how treatment delivery can better meet patients’ needs.
Supported by a KL2 Training Grant through the Weill Cornell Clinical and Translational Science Center.
My work draws on administrative claims analysis, causal inference, and quality improvement methods to study treatment patterns and outcomes in routine care.
