I provide clinical Emergency Medicine care to patients seeking services in the Emergency Department.

Research Industries Corporation is a medical device start up that is developing a unique and powerful new approach to creating x-ray images in response to the COVID19 pandemic. We will be able to produce chest x-rays at Point of Care with a resolution that will match tomography at a cost and patient radiation exposure that mirrors standard, currently available x-ray. Our device also has the potential to image breast that are 10-100x smaller than currently available mammography and image extremities in austere medical settings: combat casualty clearing stations, refugee camps, disaster sites, and remote clinics.

Vitae Industries has developed a desk sized 3-D printer which serves as a an Automated Compounding Device to print, compound, and dispense precisely dosed medications. The device si driven by a laptop and is light and portable, allowing the dispensing of these medicines in a a variety of settings including Hospital Inpatient Pharmacies, Emergency Departments, Urgent Care Centers, and more austere medical settings including remote clinics, disaster sites, refugee camps, military bases and combat casualty clearing centers. Our device brings cost-efficiency, accuracy, and portability to compounding pharmacy and precision dose medicine for woman, elders, children, and all patients who require non-standard drug dosing.
