Philosophy:
I chose to become a cardiothoracic surgeon because I wanted a career where I could help my fellow man in the most significant way possible. I always consider what is best for my patients and work collaboratively with them and their families to ensure they get the best care possible. My primary goal is to help them regain the energy and long-term health they desire. As an expert in Robotics and Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery, I always perform my surgeries as minimally invasively as possible.
