Philosophy:
The heart is the center of our beings ? it's not only a pump. It's the center of our emotions and who we are. I like to spend time with my patients so that they understand their disease process better and are better able to take care of themselves.
I strive to provide high quality, evidence-based, compassionate care; Treat the patient as a whole human being, not an organ system. I am particularly interested in a proactive approach to heart disease with an emphasis on prevention and healthy lifestyle
