Overview
I became a cardiologist because I wanted to be excited about coming to work each day. Every day, I am able to have a positive impact on someone's life, form relationships, and make someone feel better. Heart disease remains the number one killer of all Americans, and I would like to change that. I practice general cardiology, women's heart health, and cardiac care for cancer patients. I see patients for coronary artery disease, heart attacks, post coronary stent bypass surgery, coronary artery bypass surgery, heart murmurs, palpitations, and rhythm disturbances. I enjoy spending time with my family, dancing in my kitchen, golfing, hiking, biking, tennis, exercising, and living life to its fullest.
