Philosophy of Care:
As an advanced heart failure cardiologist, I want my patients to have the best experience during a very difficult time in their lives. When a patient is wondering what comes next, our team-based, patient and family-focused approach helps them get through the illness, with an emphasis on healing, in a comfortable and relaxed environment. After a transplant or a ventricular-assist device, they can experience their new life and feel satisfied with the care we provided at every step of the way for years to come. I believe in open communication with the referring providers so they feel confident that we are providing the highest quality and safest care to their patients.
