I initially became a cardiologist because I have heart disease myself. I underwent open-heart surgery in 1989 and again in 2001. I have had all cardiac tests. I wanted to help people with conditions similar to my own.

Backed By Experience

Throughout my 26 years in practice I have not only continued to learn about heart care, I have focused on trying to treat each patient as a unique person. I will do my best to find the diagnostic approach and therapy that are best tailored for the needs of each individual under my care.

Have a heart concern?

Start With a consultation.

And a Knowledge of the Latest Medical Advancements

I am dedicated to learning more about heart conditions and the best treatment available. As our field evolves, so do technology and pharmaceuticals. I have a particular interest in the noninvasive evaluation and treatment of heart disease, particularly coronary artery disease, valvular disease, and congestive heart failure.
