Why Stony Brook ? I was looking for a large academic center in a cool area with a large catchment and colleagues I connected with and respected as both physicians and people. When I came for my interview, I felt immediately like I had found that. The importance of having colleagues who are intelligent, compassionate and fun is a tremendous asset, and I think this positive environment is a direct result of having fantastic leadership and physician mentors that we can look up to.
