I am a board certified pediatrician. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Chemistry and Biology from Rutgers University with High Honors. For the next 4 years I worked as a principal research developer at National Starch Company. I worked to develop healthy ingredients into a number of products. My peaking interest in nutrition sparked my desire to persuade my career in medicine. I received my medical degree from New York Medical College. At the time my son was born I realized I enjoyed being with children and decided to continue my professional career as a pediatrician. I completed my pediatric Residency at Robert Wood Johnson the Bristol-Myers Squibb Children Hospital. Upon residency completion I worked as an ER physician at Overlook Hospital for a year after which time I transitioned to private setting. I enjoy all expects of general pediatrics, especially interactions with children and their parents. I strongly believe that success in patient care comes from physician's knowledge of their patients' full medical history and formation of trusting relationship with caregivers. In my spare time I enjoy spending my time with my two children (Tahlia and Jonathan), my husband and our dog (Pudding). I love traveling and skiing. I am fluent in both English and Russian. I accept new patients.
