I have been in clinical practice as a physician assistant since 2004, when I began work in Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine. I joined the Sleep Medicine Centers of Western New York in 2010 as I sought to focus on the treatment of adult and pediatric sleep disorders. The aspects of my job that are most rewarding are meeting new people, being able to teach them regarding their condition and how to comply with therapy, as well as making a positive difference. Outside of providing direct patient care, I have also given various presentations pertaining to obstructive sleep apnea in the Buffalo community. I have acted as a mentor to students interested in the PA profession, as well as Sleep Medicine. I completed my Physician Assistant degree at Daemen College in Amherst, NY in May 2004 and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Cansius College in Buffalo, NY in May 2001. I am board certified as a Physician Assistant through the NCCPA with professional associations including the American Academy of Physician Assistants, Western New York Physician Assistant Association and American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

Currently, I am a provider in New York State, practice administrator at the Sleep Medicine Centers of Western New York, as well as a guest lecturer at Daemen College. These roles have provided me with a unique opportunity to work with students, colleagues, and patients regarding a variety of not only sleep disorders but often in the setting of challenging comorbid medical issues in a team-based approach. I look forward to bringing this same standard of care from years of experience into telemedicine.

Board Certified in both Neurology and Sleep Medicine, I focus the majority of my practice on the treatment of adult and pediatric sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, and restless legs among many others. In addition, as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Neurology at UB, I teach students, residents, and fellows the joys of sleep medicine and engage in clinical research. I love what we do for our patients and how much we strive to improve their lives. I’m thrilled to bring all my years of sleep medicine practice into the world of telemedicine, and honored to work with the entire Ognomy team.
