He is an interventional cardiologist, board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. He has more than 30 years of experience caring for patients with acute and chronic heart conditions that need treatment with procedures such as cardiac catheterization, coronary artery stent placement or heart valve replacement and repair.

He has special interest in less invasive catheter-based techniques for treating heart valve disease and emergency treatments for patients with heart attacks.

Why should someone choose you to take care of their health?
Together with the patient's primary cardiologist, we develop the most appropriate treatment plan, which may include only medications and not necessarily require surgical procedures.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you?
Patients deserve the best care and treatment possible, based on their specific symptoms and problems.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is your greatest reward?
I have always been interested in the science of cardiology and it allows me to care for acutely ill patients in the hospital and develop long-term relationships in the office.
