Caring for Patients is my Passion. For instance, in March 2020 when Covid-19 hit NYC, I took upon the risk, I volunteered my services at Queens Hospital Emergency Room, where, I took care of a deluge of Covid-19 patients. At the time, New York State was in desperate need of physicians with critical care expertise. This was at a time, when medical community was still discussing Hydroxychloroquine as a possible treatment and there was no other proven treatment for this deadly viral illness and no vaccine was available.After that, I volunteered my services with the United States Army at the Jacob Javits medical station. Where, I helped in whatever way I could to save as many lives as possible. Similarly, when vaccines became available in NYC, I continued my volunteer-ship work with NYCDOH to help vaccinate hundreds of New Yorkers at vaccine hubs in Queens County. In conclusion, I feel proud that I have fulfilled my mission of saving lives and have promoted and enabled a healthy life style.
My track record in Cardiac Procedures is impeccable since, NYSDOH records the outcomes. And, I have had the honor of achieving one of the lowest mortality rates among all New York State Cardiac Interventional-lists spanning large volume of patients, every single year over a period of 15 years. Preventing heart disease in high risk patients has been my focus.
I carefully learn and evaluate patients’ symptoms, risk factors, and labs. My focus is on the diet, sleep, stress-free healthy lifestyle during my evaluation. I spend a lot of time on patients’ lifestyle strategies that ultimately impact the health and happiness of patients. As a result, I have helped save and extend the lives of hundreds of patients.
