Philosophy of Care:
My goal is to deliver high quality, patient-focused, compassionate care addressing the complex needs of my cardiovascular patients. I stay up to date with the latest research, technologies, and techniques to provide innovative and evidenced based care to my patients. I work collaboratively with our multidisciplinary team and focus on the prevention and early detection of heart disease. I aim to provide minimally invasive interventions, and educate my patients and their families so they can be involved in the decision-making process and make an informed decision.
