About me
I entered this field because I enjoy studying the cardiovascular system and helping people get and stay well. I provide compassionate, attentive care to diagnose and treat a wide variety of cardiovascular diseases. I use cutting-edge non-invasive and minimally invasive methods.
Non-invasive diagnostic methods include:
- CT (computerized tomography) angiography
- Echocardiography
- Nuclear imaging
- Rhythm monitoring
Minimally invasive treatments I provide include:
- Cardiac catheterizations
- Evaluating and opening arteries in the heart and blood vessels from head to foot
- Implanting heart rhythm devices
- Plugging and closing holes and defects in the heart
- Replacing and repairing heart valves
I enjoy getting to know my patients and colleagues. I like learning about their lives, pastimes, careers, and families. I enjoy talking with them about healthy food, music, and the arts. In my own free time, I write songs and musical theater.
Whether I’m performing diagnostics or minimally invasive procedures, my goal is to help my patients return to the activities they love.
