Overview

I am a cardiologist specializing in advanced heart failure and heart transplants. I see patients across the entire spectrum of heart failure, including early to late stages. In more advanced cases, I discuss the role of therapies, such as devices and heart transplants. My goal is to ensure that each patient receives optimal treatment for their condition. I provide a personalized approach to care and seek to understand the patient's unique story and journey. I enjoy answering questions about different treatment approaches and finding the right one for the patient. My passion for heart failure stems from excitement and appreciation for a growing number of effective treatment strategies in the field, and I look forward to discussing these with my patients. I am active in research, including clinical trials, and would be happy to discuss any opportunities to participate. In my free time, I enjoy getting to know the area, traveling, and spending time with my family.
