Overview

I am truly blessed to be able to practice in Bakersfield, my first and only job since completing my training at the University of California, San Diego.  Heart and lung surgery is very complex, and I believe that the only person qualified to assess and evaluate surgical patients is the surgeon himself.  Therefore, you, the patient, and I will make all critical decisions.  Please feel free to call the office to schedule an appointment with me.

Dr. Paw is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Aortic Dissection. His top areas of expertise are Pleurisy, Aortic Valve Stenosis, Parapneumonic Pleural Effusion, Gastrostomy, and Aortic Valve Replacement.
