Portrait

I grew up in Rochester, New York and, apart from four years at Harvard and four years at Cornell Medical College, I have been here my entire life. Like all in our group, I put the patient first and pride myself in being especially focused on explaining exactly what's going on. My areas of clinical interest include treatment of aneurysms, treatment of carotid stenosis, and dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome. The University of Rochester has an extraordinarily well-respected educational program in Vascular Surgery, and I pride myself in continuing to lead this group.
