Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
Patients should be empowered to make the best possible healthcare decisions. To that end, I strive to listen intently and educate patients about the evidence behind their treatment options.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Patients should expect quality cardiac care delivered with compassion through open communication.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you’re not caring for patients?\
Outside the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my family, exercising and playing tennis.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose electrophysiology because it allows me to care for people using a combination of medicine, physiology, engineering and technology, all of which I am passionate about.
