160 Park Avenue Memorial Sloan Kettering

I am a board-certified nurse practitioner (NP) with special training in cancer survivorship. I practice in the Adult Long Term Follow Up Program caring for adults who were treated for cancer as children or young adults. I am a graduate of Columbia Universitys nurse practitioner program and have been working at Memorial Sloan Kettering as a NP since 1990. I focus on the long-term effects of cancer treatment. I am committed to improving the quality of life of my patients.

The incidence of both melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers is on the rise; at the same time, our ability to treat skin cancers has vastly improved. Today there are many strategies for treating skin cancers which include radiation and light based therapy, topical and systemic chemotherapy, conventional surgery, and Mohs micrographic surgery, a highly effective treatment modality for skin cancers with aggressive behavior or located in cosmetically sensitive areas. In my practice, I strive to help my patients understand their diagnosis and work with them and their referring physician to choose an evidence-based therapeutic regimen that is tailored to their particular needs while achieving the highest possible cure rate, and the best functional and cosmetic outcome
