Get To Know Me

Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I collaborate with each patient to develop a comprehensive and individualized cardiovascular plan to improve his or her health.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
I aim to provide a complete and accurate diagnosis and a clear and personalized treatment plan.

How do you spend your personal time when you're not caring for patients?
I enjoy being with family and friends, playing golf and enjoying music. I am passionate about the many philanthropies I have been involved with, including the American Heart Association and Ability Beyond.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I am a drummer - the lub-dub rhythm of the heart led me to a professional life in cardiology. Treating and preventing serious disease remain my greatest rewards.
