Overview
Philosophy of care | My passion is providing patients who have complex cardiovascular problems with the best possible long-term survival and quality of life. I understand that a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease can be very difficult to understand and fully appreciate. I also know how difficult it can be to navigate the health care system for the best results. I offer you and your family the support, knowledge and expertise to make the best decisions for your circumstances, applying the knowledge and therapies that offer the most up-to-date and durable options. I look forward to helping you. | Why I entered medicine | I chose a medical career to advance the health care of patients suffering from cardiovascular disease. | Community involvement | I support the American Heart Association. | Personal interests | Outside of work I enjoy golf, exercise and travel.
