I believe excellent health care begins with listening. I take time to understand each patient’s concerns, priorities and individual circumstances so we can develop an evidence-based treatment plan that is realistic for their life. I value shared decision-making and strive to explain complex medical information in a clear, approachable way so patients feel heard, respected and confident in the decisions we make together.

In cardiology, I especially value helping patients better understand their cardiovascular health and the steps they can take to improve it. Whether addressing a complex cardiovascular condition or focusing on long-term prevention and risk reduction, I work collaboratively with patients and other health care providers to provide comprehensive care. My goal is to identify practical, meaningful changes that can improve both quality of life and long-term health.
