My ninth-grade biology class sparked my interest in medicine. I was, and still am, fascinated by how the body works. I am so proud to be involved in the healing arts, doing something I love and helping patients every day.

As a general cardiologist, I see adult patients who have heart conditions. I work closely with subspecialists when necessary, to treat patients with conditions that require specialized procedures. As the population ages, some of my patients don’t have heart disease, but their hearts are beginning to wear out. Every one of my patients, no matter what their condition, receives unique and personalized care and treatment plans.

At my practice, I deliver superior care along with my physician assistant and nurse practitioner. I have known some of my patients for almost 30 years and have developed trusting relationships with them.

I’m always available to provide guidance and support and I am very honest with my patients. I need their collaboration and cooperation to provide them with the best care—it’s a team effort. They need to follow my treatment plans, so that together, we can reach their treatment goals.

I am a fellow of the American College of Cardiology and a recipient of the Theodore Roosevelt award for my community service.
