💜🧡 Walking Toward a More Compassionate Future 🧡💜

I’m proud to join as part of Team Vireo x Cannabis Doctors of New York for — NYC’s leading nonprofit for Alzheimer’s and dementia care — 37th Annual Alzheimer’s Walk.

We’re walking to raise awareness and critical funds for patients and families navigating memory-related illnesses.

As a medical cannabis physician, I see firsthand how deeply Alzheimer’s and dementia affect both patients and loved ones — that’s why our partnership with Vireo Health goes beyond medicine: it’s about community, education, and hope.

Medical cannabis continues to show significant promise in ameliorating symptoms like lost communication skills, anxiety, agitation, insomnia, and poor appetite in dementia patients. With your support, we can expand research, access, and care for those who need it most.

📚✨ After more than 30 years working in emergency rooms and urgent care centers, I’ve finally put some of my thoughts, stories, and memories into a book, “Exquisite Moments of Sorrow and Grace.”

This memoir is not just about medicine—it’s about the family I come from, four generations of physicians who believed deeply in treating patients with compassion and dignity. I’ve tried to capture not just the clinical moments, but the human ones too.

Grateful to for the chance to talk about the book and my family’s story.

If any of this resonates with you—or if you’re just curious about life behind the scenes in the ER—give my book a read and the interview a listen (both linked to in my bio)

Thank you for letting me share this part of my journey. 🙏
