About me
As a cardiologist, I work closely with my patients to ensure we make the correct diagnosis and select the best treatments based on scientific research. I want to help my patients feel their best, which takes teamwork. After each visit, I ensure they understand what’s happening with their health and what comes next. Every patient is unique, so I create a treatment plan just for them. Together, we figure out how to care for their heart health and work toward keeping them as healthy as possible.
I explain medical conditions in terms that my patients can easily understand. Patients are the most important members of their care team, so I include them in every decision about their tests and treatments. This approach builds trust and makes patients feel more comfortable with their care. It also makes them more satisfied with the results.
The best part of my job is seeing patients understand their heart problems and what we're doing to help prevent future issues. Our partnership becomes even stronger when they understand and participate in their treatment.
