I believe the best cardiovascular care begins with listening, education, and a strong partnership between patients and their healthcare team. My goal is to understand each patient’s unique circumstances, answer their questions, and provide the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health. Together, we develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans that reflect each person’s values, preferences, and goals.

I am committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive care while working closely with primary care providers and other specialists to ensure a coordinated approach. I honor each patient’s perspective and believe shared decision-making is essential to achieving the best possible outcomes. When procedures or surgery are the most appropriate option, I help guide patients through the referral process while discussing alternative treatments when appropriate based on their individual condition.

I chose cardiology because it is a dynamic and continually advancing field, with ongoing research leading to meaningful improvements in both medical therapies and procedural care. It is a privilege to care for patients across the full spectrum of cardiovascular health—from those focused on prevention to those with complex heart disease—and to build lasting relationships that support their health and well-being throughout every stage of life.
