Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
Every patient is a statistic of one - we need to understand and listen.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
The doctor-patient relationship is a partnership - open, honest communication is the formula for consistent, trusting, high-quality health care.

How do you spend your personal time when you're not caring for patients?
I believe in personal improvement - reading, exercising and spending time with family.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
My family has a high incidence of vascular-related issues. My interest was all-consuming from day one. The ability to give back to the community is the ultimate award.
