About

I'm an academic physician, consultant and advisor in digital health. I value solutions that improve outcomes and am always looking for innovations (tech or not) in to bring the best to patients, providers and payers.

Within NYU School of Medicine, I'm Assistant Professor of Medicine and Clinical Innovation, Director of Code Team Leaders at Bellevue Hospital, Fellow in the Institute for Innovations in Medical Education (IIME) and Director for Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (TIE @NYUMC).

As a consultant, I help the best companies gain clinical insight into what works in front line healthcare. I have current or former relationships with Apple, Cornell Tech, Google, Mount Sinai, Columbia, Northwell, Pfizer, DOH, HHS, Accenture, Sharecare, the New York Times, CityMD, Blueprint Health, IBM-Watson, Oscar, Cloud Medx, HITLAB, UCSF, Stanford, MedicineX, Health 2.0, Medstartr, Kaiser Permanente.

I also sit on advisory boards at two startups (Cohere Health, LifeTrend), NYU-X and the NYCEDC's Digital Health Breakthrough Network (matching early stage startups to health facilities in order to find product-market fit).

After graduating from Cornell University with a degree in Neurobiology and Behavior in 2000, I became a Fulbright Scholar to Denmark, attended medical school in Minnesota, then spent over a year treating underserved patients in Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, India and Nepal before completing residency at New York Presbyterian Hospital and Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

I've been quoted by Forbes, Beckers Hospital Review, Good Magazine, Monster.com and the Huffington Post and I write for Medscape / WebMD.

I continue to see patients as a hospitalist at Bellevue, have developed curricula that were institutionalized by NYU in simulation and reflective practice and am honored to have been inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society.
