I am a community and academic pulmonary physician, dedicated to providing quality, evidence-based care to my patients and passionate about educating medical students, residents, and fellows. Patients should be involved in decisions regarding their care, and I strive to provide them the knowledge that they need to make the right decisions based on their goals and values.

I provide general pulmonary care for patients at UR Thompson Pulmonary Clinic in Canandaigua, and inpatient pulmonary consultative services at UR Thompson Hospital and URMC Strong Memorial Hospital. In addition, I am also caring for patients at the Bronchiectasis Center at Mary Parkes Asthma Center in Henrietta. I have clinical expertise in the fields of asthma, COPD, sarcoidosis, lung nodules, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, and tuberculosis, but as a general pulmonologist, I welcome patients with all types of pulmonary disease. I have experience in procedures including bronchoscopy, thoracentesis, and procedures required to care for the critically ill patient.

My health discussion with Dr. Was excellent. Dr. Allowed me plenty of time to explain my health situation from the present to my early childhood asthma, allergies,lung operation,1983, etc. This was followed by the best course of action that may benefit my health for many years to come. I give It 5 stars.
