Endocrinologist - Harvard Assistant Professor

Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

I am board certified in internal medicine and endocrinology and am also trained in public health. My professional life has been primarily dedicated to general endocrinology as a clinician at a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital system, The Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA), which consists of three community hospitals and 22+ neighborhood health centers. I have been in clinical practice for 38 years, and division chief of endocrinology at CHA for 27 years. I recently transitioned from full time clinician/teacher to part time clinical practice and continue in my role as Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. I have been involved in and/or spearheaded many quality improvement projects during my time at CHA. I was recognized as collaborative colleague of the year in past years, and recently was awarded a lifetime achievement award for my work at CHA. I have extensive experience in the management of all areas of endocrinology, including diabetes, weight management, thyroid disease, gender dysphoria, adrenal and pituitary disorders. Cambridge Health Alliance is a health safety net provider, and almost 50% of our patient population speaks a primary language other than English. I speak Spanish proficiently and understand much of Brazilian Portuguese and Haitian Creole. As Harvard teaching faculty, I am involved in teaching internal medicine, family medicine, and podiatry resident physicians as well as Harvard Medical School students rotating through our various training programs.
