About me

I practice cardiovascular medicine because a large part of cardiovascular conditions is not only treatable but also preventable.

I value the time I spend with my patients and give them my undivided attention.. I focus on understanding my patient’s diagnosis, how it affects their life, and making a plan that fits their goals.

I aim to be attentive, thorough, and easy to understand. I encourage my patients to bring their family to appointments, ask questions, and stay in touch with our team between visits.

In my practice, patients reach success through lifestyle changes, therapy, and procedures if needed.

The most rewarding part of being a cardiologist is helping my patients live longer, healthier lives. My patients can feel confident that they have options to both feel better and live longer.
