Redefining How Healthcare Feels

I founded Ascend Wellness MD to redefine how healthcare feels — blending science, compassion, and performance-driven living into a personalized experience.

My goal is simple: to help you live your next decades with vitality, resilience, and joy.

At Ascend Wellness MD, we believe that optimal health is not just about avoiding disease — it’s about unlocking your full potential at every stage of life.

Dual-Trained in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics (Med-Peds)

As a board-certified physician in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, I completed four years of rigorous dual residency training — the equivalent of being fully trained in both specialties.

This foundation allows me to:

• Understand how health evolves from infancy through adulthood and into later decades

• Manage chronic adult conditions like hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disorders

• Support children’s physical, emotional, and developmental health

• Guide patients through complex transitions — from adolescence to menopause to healthy aging

• Synthesize insights across specialties including endocrinology, infectious disease, psychiatry, lifestyle medicine, and more

My Med-Peds training means I don't just treat symptoms — I connect the dots, anticipate challenges, and design personalized strategies to help you live with strength, clarity, and purpose.

My Journey in Medicine

After earning my medical degree at Albany Medical College, I completed my Med-Peds residency at Albany Medical Center and practiced internal medicine, pediatrics, and hospital medicine for nearly two decades.

Throughout my career, I saw the limitations of traditional, rushed healthcare models. I created Ascend Wellness MD to provide a different kind of experience — one that is thoughtful, individualized, proactive, and rooted in the best of modern medicine.

Today, I partner closely with patients to optimize cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal strength, metabolic vitality, pulmonary function, cognitive performance, and overall longevity.

A Personal Note

Outside of medicine, I am a lifelong student of health, performance, and intentional living. I believe that the right strategies — rooted in science, compassion, and personalization — can help every person achieve greater vitality at any stage of life.

At Ascend Wellness MD, our mission is to guide you toward a stronger, healthier, more vibrant future.

I look forward to being part of your journey.

"The future of healthcare is personal, proactive, and purposeful."
