My passion is bringing wellness into people’s everyday lives. I have done this as a practicing physician at Columbia Presbyterian in New York City, at the Cleveland Clinic as founding medical director of Lifestyle 180, a groundbreaking lifestyle modification program, and as a member of the YouBeauty Advisory Board. In addition, I have been an invited guest contributor for television, print and online media.

I obtained my undergraduate degree in art history at the University of Pennsylvania, and my medical degree from the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, where I was awarded several academic achievements. I completed my internal medicine residency training at New York Hospital/Columbia Presbyterian in New York City.  

Currently, I reside in Santa Monica with my family, a great place to incorporate everyday wellness into my life.
