About me

  • Medical Director, Penn Pituitary Center
  • Professor of Clinical Medicine (Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism)

I treat patients with pituitary and adrenal conditions. My particular interest is in Cushing's disease/syndrome. I also see young adults with childhood conditions of adrenal and pituitary glands transitioning to adult care. Additionally, I treat patients with endocrine complications of cancer therapies.

My education and training

  • Medical School: University of Michigan
  • Residency: R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center
  • Fellowship: Johns Hopkins Hospital
