Biography
I have devoted my entire professional career to the pursuit of expertise in hospice and palliative care across the lifespan. After ten years as an attending physician at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and a faculty member at Columbia's College of Physician and Surgeons, I decided to move my family to a more family friendly environment than New York City and a clinical leadership position dedicated to end of life and hospice care in the community. I live in Norwich, VT with my wife and two sons.
Mentoring Information
Geisel School of Medicine and Dartmouth College trainees of any level and discipline may contact me to discuss opportunities to be mentored in community hospice and end of life care.
