About me

Born in LA. Training in New York.

Hi, I'm Michael a first-year PM&R resident at Westchester Medical Center. I grew up in Los Angeles and completed my undergraduate studies at UCLA, where I earned a B.S. in Psychobiology. I then moved across the country for medical school at Drexel University College of Medicine, graduating in 2025.

Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation drew me in because of its unique focus on function, recovery, and the whole patient. I'm passionate about helping people rebuild their lives after injury or illness whether that's a stroke survivor relearning to walk or an athlete returning to sport.

Outside the hospital, you'll find me on the basketball court or soccer field, rooting for the Lakers, or out on the trails.

Snapshot

Currently at WMC.

Westchester Medical Center is a Level I Trauma Center and regional referral hub giving me exposure to a wide breadth of rehabilitation cases across neurology, orthopedics, oncology, and more.

My clinical interests include neurorehabilitation, musculoskeletal medicine, and electrodiagnosis (EMG/NCS). I'm also interested in the intersection of technology and rehabilitation medicine.

Cauliflower Fritters (Latkes)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Followed the directions closely but could never get these crispy, which seems to be the whole point of a latke. The taste is genuinely good seasoning is on point and the cauliflower-potato combo works. But the texture falls completely flat and the cooking instructions need serious improvement before I could recommend these to anyone.

Sriracha Chicken Spring Rolls

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Great taste and texture overall. The sriracha heat level is just right and the dipping sauce is a nice touch. Only knock is they never got fully crispy in the oven, though that might be on me since the air fryer is probably the move here. The bigger hesitation is the calories: 200 per 2-piece serving adds up fast for a snack. Worth trying, but hard to justify as a regular buy.
