As a pathologist I am charged with making decisions that directly impact patient care, including who goes home, who stays in the hospital, who gets treatment and who does not. This responsibility demands working closely with staff and clinicians as well as reviewing the medical record. Putting the pieces of the diagnostic puzzle together to the greatest benefit of the patient is my daily objective. As a member of the faculty my personal goal is to make the wisest decisions necessary for the best care possible for the INDIVIDUAL patient, the standard of Weill Cornell Medicine.
