�ٺ���Ƶ

I am the third generation of surgeons in my family. My grandfather was a surgeon in the British Royal Air Force and my father was a surgeon with the Indian Armed Forces. At an early age, I visited the operating room and saw my father perform a mitral valve repair surgery. Seeing how well the young woman recovered postoperatively, strengthened my desire to pursue a career in medicine and cardiac surgery.

I treat patients with cardiac conditions, including coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and aortic pathologies. I perform major aortic procedures and mitral valve repair surgeries.

When I work with patients, I make sure they retain agency and are involved in their care. I also involve their family members in treatment discussions and make sure they are comfortable working with me. I prioritize patient safety and have checklists in the operating room, which has been shown to improve surgical outcomes. In recent years, I have made it a point to regularly provide lectures to staff on the importance of following checklists for procedures in patient care.

Our team at �ٺ���Ƶ Hospital—Long Island produces excellent results—we have a strong track record of successful outcomes, confirmed by our Society of Thoracic Surgeons national ranking. Each team member has a dedicated focus in a niche area of cardiac surgery, which together has enhanced our ability to attend to the diverse needs of complex cardiac procedures for our patients. We also have an exceptionally empathic and caring nursing staff, who have always received high praise from our patients.
