About me
I help patients get back to active and meaningful lives without the worry of cardiac issues. I enjoy getting to know each patient and discussing what approach makes the most sense for them. I specialize in diagnostics and clinical imaging with an emphasis on valvular heart disease. I also have experience working as the cardiologist on the kidney transplant committee. DHMC is the kind of hospital where I would want my family members to receive care. I help patients connect with academic medical center experts when needed. I also work hard to assist with a smooth transition back to full activity.
