About me
My goal is to provide excellent medical care while treating each patient as a person, not just a condition. I take time to listen, explain things in a clear way, and help patients feel comfortable and supported. It means a lot to me when patients feel they can talk openly with me and know I truly care about their well-being.
I chose medicine because I enjoy science, solving problems, and helping people. Cardiac surgery brings these interests together. It allows me to use my skills and the latest advances in medicine to care for people during some of the most important moments of their lives.
Building trust with patients and their families is one of the most meaningful parts of my work. I want every patient and family to feel heard, respected, and involved in their care. The best part of my job is seeing patients get stronger, recover, and return to the people and activities they love.
