Professional Focus:
I am an American Board of Nuclear Medicine certified physician. My special interest is in the clinical application of PET in cancer diagnosis and neurological applications, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

My research interest is diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease, including hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer with metastases.

Board Certifications:
 American Board of Nuclear Medicine
Certification Board of Nuclear Cardiology
